Position Overview
We’re looking for a People and Culture Advisor to join our People team. If you love helping managers do the right thing, supporting colleagues through the tricky stuff (and the everyday stuff), and you’ve got a good working knowledge of employee relations and UK employment law, you might be just who we’re after.
Yorkshire Housing does more than manage homes; we want people to have a place they’re proud to call home, and that starts with having colleagues who feel supported, trusted, and able to do their best work.
Responsibilities
* First point of contact for managers, giving clear, people‑first advice and support.
* Ensure colleagues have a great experience at Yorkshire Housing, including:
o A new colleague
o Going through change
o Needing support with health and wellbeing
o Working through something more formal (performance, absence, conflict or conduct)
* Coach managers to handle people matters in a way that fits our adult‑to‑adult, customer‑obsessed culture.
* Spot patterns and themes (absence, turnover, culture indicators) and use insights to improve the colleague experience.
* Get involved in business‑wide projects such as health and wellbeing, Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, and colleague forums and networks.
Qualifications
* Proactive, can‑do, customer‑obsessed approach.
* Confident, calm communication skills and the ability to build strong relationships at all levels.
* Solid experience in employee relations, with a focus on early and informal resolution.
* Up‑to‑date knowledge of UK employment law and the ability to explain it in plain English.
* Ability to work well independently while also being a team player.
* Great organisational skills and attention to detail.
* CIPD Level5 (or part‑qualified) and associate CIPD membership.
Bonus Points
* CIPD Level7
* Mediation and/or coaching qualification
* Experience working comfortably in an agile and remote environment
Benefits
* Excellent salary of £38,439.98 per year (35 hours a week).
* 26 days annual leave, rising each year to 31 days plus bank holidays.
* Health cash plan for prescriptions, eye tests and similar.
* Retail discounts and a pension scheme with 9% contribution match.
* Flexible work with hub, home, roam approach.
* Internal and external training opportunities.
* Wellbeing support package, including free fitness classes, instant My GP service and free counselling sessions.
* Inclusive and diverse work environment with equal opportunity.
