HR & Operations Manager

We are seeking a dynamic and experienced HR & Ops Manager to help ensure the Trust is a well-run organisation.

We believe that Sheffield and Rotherham Wildlife Trust needs to be a well-run organisation that enables the delivery of our vision, mission and strategy. How we run the Trust underpins all the work that we do. We need supported, skilled, motivated and committed Trustees, staff and volunteers. We need to ‘practise what we preach’ by striving to reduce our own negative impact on the environment, for example, by reducing our carbon footprint. We also recognise the lack of diversity within our organisation and that we need to reach out to those in our community who are not well represented on our Board, or as part of our staff or volunteer team.

Working closely with the CEO, you will provide HR advice and leadership, looking after our staff across wellbeing, training, diversity & inclusion and employment systems & procedures. Managing the Support Service team, you will oversee office systems including IT (supplied by an external contractor), premises, vehicles and other resources as well as support the improvement, development and compliance with our policies and procedures, especially in relation to HR, safeguarding, EDI and H&S.

Reporting to the Head of Finance & Support Services, who focuses on strategic and operational financial management and audited accounts, you will manage a small team and a budget of c.£150,000. There will be a good degree of autonomy as the Head of Finance & Support Services is part-time. As with all charities, the Trust is constantly adapting and responding to issues in pursuit of our mission, so you need to be able to thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced work environment.
