They require a HR Business Partner to work as part of a wider HR & HRD Department for an initial period of 3 months. The role has the opportunity to extend for a further 12 months.
You will be providing invaluable support to your stakeholders through your involvement with skills and talent mapping, effective people management, supporting and enabling change, and using data and insights to find evidence-based solutions to problems and to make continuous improvements.
Duties and Responsibilities will include:
Building great relationships as someone our customers want to work with and highly value the insights, input and positive attitude you bring to the table.
Follow the CIPD principles that work matters, people matter and professionalism matters, in all that you do.
Favour a digital and self-service model, equipping others to move to that same place and to consider the art of the possible where more traditional ways of working might be a barrier to making positive progress.
Demonstrate sound and in-depth knowledge of our client's people policies, processes, and guidance documents across the HRD spectrum. Our stakeholders can rely on you for (nearly always) on-the-spot advice that is credible, relevant and up to date. You'll be personally accountable for a small portfolio of HR processes; instinctively (and routinely) taking the lead in ensuring they remain fit for purpose through peer and stakeholder feedback, observations, benchmarking and experience.
Take a lead in your own personal development, recognising where you need to expand your knowledge and/or to take a lead on a subject matter less familiar to you.
You will need to demonstrate knowledge in the following:
Employee relations management: ensuring process is applied fairly and consistently, with current employment law knowledge as a strong backbone to your approach. You won't let things drag on, working at pace to reach informed and reasonable outcomes. Your involvement in hearings and complex cases will strike the right balance of risk and care in concluding the right outcomes for our customers, our colleagues and our reputation as a business.
Change management; you'll know how and when to apply the right tools, techniques, methods and processes to support and enable all types of change. The people involved and impacted by the change will be at the front and centre of your mind, and you'll ensure we support them and engage with them appropriately throughout.
People analytics; you'll instinctively draw upon data and information to inform your next steps, recommendations and options. You'll be comfortable to analyse and make sense of quantitative and qualitative data sources to explore issues and solve problems. You'll assess impact and risk when making informed decisions and you'll identify how we can adapt and improve our practice with data.
Engagement and employee experience; you'll understand what motivates people and you'll work in a way that makes our colleagues feel heard and included. You'll understand how to integrate wellbeing into people practices and will embed this into the way you work with stakeholders. You'll identify and drive improvements that influence and positively impact upon our culture and performance
Diversity and inclusion; you'll be equipped to support and enable our colleagues to be themselves, to have a voice, and to be at their best at Home Group. You will role model inclusive behaviours, challenge those that aren't, and go beyond basic legislation and compliance to move from 'say' to 'do' when it comes to diversifying our workforce
Ideally you will be CIPD Qualified and hold an Enhanced DBS
