HR Advisor

Part Time HR Advisor, Eastbourne, £23,000 to £26,000 (pro rata) depending on experience.

Are you a CIPD qualified HR Advisor?

Are you looking for a challenge?

Are you bored with your current HR role?

Want to get to the next level but restricted by a lack of opportunity to develop your HR skills?

Do you love dogs? (This might sound bizarre but read on to find out more)...

If you answered yes to the above then a HR Advisor role with ourselves may be just what you are looking for.

We are seeking an awesome HR Advisor for its expansion plans to grow into the recognised outsource HR provider in the South East. However, this role comes with a warning as it is not to everyone taste…

This role is different to being a HR Advisor for a single organisation, you are in effect a HR Advisor for lots of different businesses in many different sectors, all at the same time! This means you will be advising on a diverse range of HR issues. You need to be well organised and have the ability to deal with multiple clients in different industries. One minute you might be advising on an issue in a manufacturing company the next you could be dealing with a CEO of a Charity or out on site leading on a disciplinary.

This is HR outsourcing, so all our clients have different contracts, different holiday entitlement, and different sick pay arrangements. It’s not only the employment terms that are different but also the workplace culture and the personalities that you are supporting.

Every day is different. And sometimes it may feel like you have experienced a careers worth of HR challenges in just a week! Tupe, Redundancies, Dismissals, Interviews, Smelly Employees, Full blown fights... we get the lot and we still smile!

You will be a HR Advisor to many, all demanding your time and they will all be a priority!

Who are we?

The company was launched in January 2013 and builds its business in the areas of Eastbourne and Brighton. We are part of a large nationwide network of HR Depts, providing practical, pragmatic and affordable outsourced HR to SME’s.

Who are we looking for?

A HR Advisor who is interested in testing themselves and is prepared to work outside of their comfort zone. Someone who is keen to build on their portfolio of HR experience.

This is a part time role, initially 15 hours per week but there may be an opportunity to increase your hours as the business develops. Salary range £23,000 to £26,000 pro rata (depending on experience).

You will:

• Like a challenge
• Likely have a minimum of 3 years in an HR advice role
• Be experienced in drafting employment contracts and HR policies
• Have experience of leading disciplinaries and investigations
• Have a solid and current knowledge of employment law
• Be someone who pays attention to detail
• Be CIPD qualified and have current membership (Associate / Chartered)
• Be keen on personal development
• Be resilient
• Be able to drive and have access to transport
• Be ok with dogs- we have 2 happy office dogs that love lots of attention!

Above all you will have integrity, energy, lots of enthusiasm and are hardworking, likeable and approachable.

We are looking at quality and type of experience rather than length, although we think 3 years will be a guide to how you are able to offer what we are looking for (although happy to be challenged on this).

It is important that you buy into our values and will be a natural HR Dept Ambassador.
