Featured Job
The HR Manager will be the key advisor to Heads of Service and Assistant Directors . The role is part strategic and part operational. They will manage the work of the rest of the advisers, overseeing the allocation of case work, supervising advisors and ensuring that the Council’s people management targets are achieved at an operational level.
The HR Manager will work collectively with the Assistant HR Manager to manage the staff resources within their HR grouping (Social and Care Services / Corporate and Core Services) as a pool of generic staff along with being a generic group in their own right. This means that although they may specialise in understanding one department’s work, work will be allocated on a needs basis, rather than to a department. This will allow the whole groups to work on a single project for one department while advisors work on individual employee cases.
Essential:
- Significant previous experience at HR Manager level or equivalent. HRBP experience for example would be just as valuable.
- Experience working as a strategic partner, supporting senior managers up to and including Director level to identify interventions and deliver action which add value to the organisation.
- Significant experience of complex Employee Relations Casework and Managing the design, development and delivery of significant Organisational Change projects.
- Previous staff management experience would also be a requirement.
