## Job Content

### Job overview

We are seeking an HR Advisor to join our team following an internal promotion. The primary purpose of this role is to provide expert HR advice and support to managers across the organisation, helping to deliver high-quality healthcare services. We are looking for someone who can offer a professional and responsive HR Advisory service, demonstrating the Trust’s values while contributing to the People & OD Directorate’s objectives.

You will develop strong working relationships, enabling managers to implement effective people management practices. You will also contribute to policy development and a range of HR initiatives as part of the wider HR team.

This role will mainly support teams across the Pennine area through a hybrid working model, combining home working with attendance at key Trust sites. You will also provide support across Lancashire and South Cumbria as required, working within a flexible, collaborative, and supportive team.‌

### Main duties of the job

In this role, you will be a key contact for managers, using a coaching approach to support them in managing a broad range of employee relations and advisory matters, including disciplinary issues, conflict resolution, sickness absence, organisational change, and performance management.

You will provide practical, solutions-focused guidance, ensuring compliance with employment legislation, NHS Terms and Conditions, and Trust policies. Support will be delivered through MS Teams, email, and telephone, with face-to-face meetings where appropriate. There will also be opportunities to contribute to proactive HR initiatives, including training delivery and policy development.

Building strong relationships within your designated areas will be essential, alongside being responsive, well organised, and confident in maintaining HR systems. You will bring HR advisory experience and be CIPD qualified, or working towards qualification. NHS experience would be beneficial but is not essential.
