Advisor, HR​/Recruitment, HR Generalist ​/ Talent Management

At the NSPCC, we believe every childhood is worth fighting for. With over 100 years of experience, and the collective strength of our staff, volunteers, supporters, and partners, we're working to end child abuse and neglect for good.

Our people are our greatest strength. So, our People team makes sure that we're able to attract and nurture life-long active, authentic ambassadors who can help us deliver our vital work.

As well as supporting them with any employment related enquiries, building strong policies and processes, we're responsible for creating a positive work environment that allows our people to grow and thrive.

We do this by creating an inclusive and wellness-focused environment where everyone can feel empowered to be their best and recognised for their hard work.

Are you driven by purpose and want to help shape a culture that makes a real difference? If so we'd love to welcome you to our team. Join us as a People Advisor in the People Operations Team, working in a hybrid way between your home and our new NSPCC office in Leeds city centre.

You will provide high quality, customer-focused, consistent HR advice on NSPCC policies in line with UK employment legislation. Coaching managers in employee relations and responding to a wide range of queries, you will empower managers to make effective decisions about their people.

Every day will be different!

You will be part of a team of four People Advisors focusing on providing information and guidance on a broad variety of topics:

• recruitment, safeguarding, inductions, probation, performance management
• sickness absence management, wellbeing, occupational health
• discipline and grievance cases and change programmes.

You will also be working with our HR software, updating HR records and completing monthly payroll processing.

There will be opportunities for you to get involved in interesting projects throughout the year.

• Are you well organised with a customer-focused, questioning approach to your work?
• Do you have a HR background that demonstrates your ability to advise and coach people managers in a sensitive, solution-focused way?
• Can you influence others positively and have strong interpersonal skills?
• Do you have, or are you working towards, a recognised professional HR qualification?
• Do you have a working knowledge of employment law, Microsoft Office and computerised HR software?

Any one of our people will tell you that a huge reward is making a difference to children's lives. But we know it's a competitive world, and it's important to feel valued in your role and receive more practical, tangible benefits. We offer salaries that are at least comparable with the top charities in the UK, as well as these benefits:

• Generous annual leave - 29 days per annum plus bank holidays for full-time employees (pro-rata for part-time). 32 days per annum after five years' continuous service.
• Employee discounts
  - Our discounts portal gives you online access to over 3,000 discounts and offers.
• The Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) - an independent, free, personal support service. It can provide information, support and advice to support your health and wellbeing.
• Pension - building up a good pension is something we want to help you achieve with our flexible, tax-efficient pension schemes.
• Life assurance scheme
  - All employees will be given life assurance of one times their salary, unless they join the NSPCC Group Personal Pension Scheme, where members are given life assurance of five times their salary.
