We operate a bilingual policy. All applicants are invited to apply in Welsh, and any application submitted in Welsh will not be treated less favourably than an application made in English.
Only current employees may apply for this job.
Please note that the advertised salary for this position is subject to a pending pay award. The final salary will be adjusted in line with the nationally agreed pay award.
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Human Resources Officer to join the busy HR team.
We are looking for an individual who ideally has previous experience of providing HR support to line managers, headteachers, and employees. This may, however, be an ideal developmental opportunity for a newly qualified CIPD HR Officer due to the wide scope of the Council’s operation.
The successful candidate will possess excellent communication skills in both English and Welsh. They must also be customer-focused, able to work flexibly within a busy service, and possess a commitment to delivering excellent service.
We welcome applications from non-Welsh speakers. All successful applicants requiring support to learn or improve their Welsh language skills will be offered funded lessons during work time to help reach the desired standard.
