Our client has been providing high quality housing and integrated housing health and social care for the past 90 years. They have two vacancies in the Newcastle area for HR Business Partner.
The roles offers hybrid working options, dependant upon diary commitments, with a requirement to be in the office 2 days a week.
The main purpose of the role will be to manage an ER case load, change management (TUPE's and restructures) policy/process review and any other duties in line with an HRBP role.
The ideal candidate will work as part of a wider HR team and HRD department to integrate business goals with our people strategy - playing a part in creating high-performing teams, reducing attrition, and attracting top talent. As a Business Partner you'll provide 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.
A strong and credible foundation of core knowledge in people practice, including policy, regulation and law, workforce planning, change, performance management, employer brand, wellbeing, diversity, and inclusion. Ideally, you'll be a qualified CIPD member, and you'll easily (and confidently) be able to evidence your recent and practical experience for this role through your career history and learning journey. You'll remain current and relevant in your practice, and you'll have experience of coaching and developing others, sharing your knowledge to enable progress.
As an experienced HR professional, we'd expect you to have specialist knowledge and practice in the following key areas (but not necessarily limited to).
-
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 with our client. 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.
You'll have experience of using HR systems, Microsoft Office and SharePoint, and communications solutions such as Workplace, Microsoft Teams, LinkedIn and other relevant Social Media platforms. Digital working to enhance efficiency will be within your current skills set or ability, with a self-starter approach to any personal development or learning. You'll be authentic and professional as a person that others can relate to; adapting your approach and communication style to influence others and create buy-in. You will be passionate and curious, contributing to discussions and generating ideas. You'll be accountable and take responsibility for any mistakes - focussing on solutions and moving on quickly. You'll be flexible in your approach to work, being comfortable to carry out your role from home or from other locations where that's appropriate. You'll bring motivation and energy to your working day and will similarly take responsibility for your own welfare, recognising where you need support, time out, or additional learning to help you achieve great things.
