The Role
Working across all Group companies, the People & Talent Advisor will be responsible for working with the Chief People Officer to ensure a smooth employee lifecycle experience and support the delivery of the people strategy.
You’ll be responsible for the end-to-end employee lifecycle. Acting as the first point of contact for new hires by drafting employment contracts, organising onboarding and managing queries. You will continue to be there for employees throughout their employment by answering queries regarding annual leave, sickness and general employment. You’ll also be there when employees choose to move on from the group by acknowledging their resignation, triggering their exit interview survey and supporting managers with communications to the wider team.
You’ll have the opportunity to develop your employment law knowledge by supporting with note taking and letter writing for performance, disciplinary and grievance cases, eventually taking ownership of your own employee relations cases.
In addition to the employee lifecycle and employee relations you’ll have a keen interest in candidate attraction. You’ll be responsible for drafting job descriptions and adverts (like this one), posting adverts to relevant forums and conducting CV screenings and first stage telephone interviews. You’ll liaise directly with hiring managers to manage the interview process and think creatively to suggest new ideas and ways of working, with a focus on increasing diversity and inclusivity in our hiring process.
Last but not least, you’ll have a passion for learning & development. You’ll be responsible for working with people managers and business leaders to understand training needs; harnessing the internal knowledge we have to design and deliver training content to Recruitment Consultants and people managers. You’ll take ownership for learning initiatives such as ‘Creating time’, a bi-monthly learning series and promoting and encouraging engagement with our LMS.
What do we want from you?
We believe this is a great role for someone ambitious, who wants to learn and grow within a truly generalist people and talent role. You will have the opportunity to make this role your own and bring new ideas and ways of working to the team. You will need to have exceptional attention to detail, be tech-savvy enough to manage and configure new features in HiBob, and have a willingness to learn and develop.
We believe in hybrid working and that spending time together as a team is just as important as having uninterrupted focus time. Therefore, this role will be based in our Redhill office at least two days per week (Tuesday and Thursday), with the remainder of the days for you to choose where you work best. This could be at home, in the office, a café or co-working space.
We are also open to part-time working for this role, for a minimum of 3 days per week or 5-hours across 4-5 days.
