HR Advisor(4 months)

We are recruiting within a Higher Education organisation in London to recruit an experienced HR Advisor for an initial 4-month assignment.

This is an exciting time to join the organisation as it goes through a period of significant change and transformation. We're looking for someone with a positive, solutions-focused attitude who is agile, adaptable and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment where priorities can change.

You'll work closely with managers and HR colleagues, providing pragmatic HR advice across a broad generalist remit. The role will include employee relations, absence, performance management, recruitment and wider HR projects/change activity.

Key areas will include:

• Providing confident, practical advice to managers
• Supporting ER casework including disciplinary, grievance and capability
• Advising on absence and performance management
• Supporting recruitment and the wider employee lifecycle
• Contributing to HR projects and change initiatives
• Building strong relationships with stakeholders across the organisation
• Managing competing priorities in a busy, evolving environment

We're looking for someone who:

• Has solid HR Advisor/generalist experience, ideally gained within a large or complex organisation
• Has hands-on experience of ER, change and performance management
• Is positive, resilient and solutions-focused
• Can be agile and adaptable as priorities evolve
• Is comfortable managing challenging situations and advising a range of stakeholders
• Can hit the ground running and work both independently and collaboratively
• Has experience of a unionised or Higher Education environment, which would be advantageous rather than essential

This is a great opportunity for an HR professional who genuinely enjoys change, variety and working at pace, and wants to make an impact during an important period for the organisation.
