Reporting to the Senior HR Advisor and HR Manager, the postholder will provide comprehensive administrative and operational HR support, acting as a first point of contact for managers and staff seeking guidance on a wide range of routine HR matters. The role involves providing accurate and timely advice on HR policies, procedures and terms and conditions of service, whilst ensuring all work is carried out in line with Trust policies, employment legislation and information governance requirements. The HR Officer will work closely with colleagues across the People and OD Directorate, supporting day‑to‑day HR activity and contributing to the effective running of the HR service. This is a hybrid role, offering a combination of remote and on-site working. The successful candidate will be expected to work across Trust sites as required, supporting managers and staff and attending meetings and hearings in person. Flexibility to travel between sites and maintain a visible presence within services is therefore essential. Please note this opportunity is open to internal candidates from LYPFT only. ### Main duties of the job The HR Officer will act as a first point of contact for internal and external HR enquiries, responding professionally via telephone and email and ensuring queries are handled efficiently and confidentially. The postholder will provide core HR advice to managers and staff on a range of routine HR matters, including terms and conditions, absence management, and HR policies and procedures, referring more complex issues as appropriate. The role includes supporting disciplinary, grievance and other formal HR processes by coordinating meetings, preparing documentation, taking and transcribing accurate meeting notes, and acting as a liaison point for correspondence. The postholder will assist in the preparation of HR and workforce reports, maintain accurate HR records using ESR and other systems, and ensure data quality and compliance with information governance standards. The HR Officer will also provide general administrative support to the HR team, including producing correspondence and reports, managing diaries and meeting arrangements, supporting audits and information requests, and contributing positively to service improvements, new systems and ways of working. The role requires strong organisational skills, the ability to prioritise workloads, and a commitment to delivering excellent customer service in a busy and confidential environment. ### Detailed job description and main responsibilities We recruit people based on their values and qualifications (where required) and believe that their lived experience is an advantage, this means that together we are as diverse as the communities we care for.
