People & Culture Advisor (ER)

London (hybrid working)

Permanent

£37,000-£43,000

We’re working with a leading London-based Art Gallery to recruit a People & Culture Advisor.

This is a broad, generalist role with a strong focus on employee relations. You’ll act as a key partner to managers across the organisation, taking ownership of ER casework while building strong, trusted relationships with stakeholders at all levels.

The role offers a good level of autonomy, so would suit someone confident operating at Advisor level - comfortable working independently, making sound decisions, and taking ownership of their caseload while ensuring a consistent and pragmatic approach to people matters.

Key responsibilities:

• Acting as a key point of contact for HR queries across the organisation, building effective working relationships with managers and staff
• Managing employee relations cases end-to-end, including disciplinary, grievance, absence, performance and investigations
• Coaching and supporting managers to build confidence and capability in handling people matters
• Leading on the review and implementation of HR policies and procedures, ensuring alignment with legislation and best practice
• Supporting HR projects and contributing to continuous improvement across processes and systems
• Maintaining HR data, producing reports and ensuring high standards of accuracy and compliance
• Supporting onboarding, training and wider people initiatives

Essential criteria:

• Solid experience in a generalist HR Advisor role
• Strong employee relations experience, with the ability to manage cases independently from end-to-end
• Proven ability to work autonomously, managing workload and making sound HR decisions
• Proven ability to build credible, trusted relationships with stakeholders across an organisation
• Good working knowledge of UK employment law
• Experience across the full employee lifecycle, including policy implementation and HR operations
• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail
• Excellent communication skills, with a practical and solutions-focused approach
• CIPD qualification or equivalent.

Desirable:

• Experience within the arts, culture or charity sector

This is a great opportunity to step into a visible and varied role within a creative organisation, where you’ll be able to take real ownership of your work while building strong relationships and making a genuine impact.

They’re keen to move quickly and I’m working to a deadline of 24th June, although I’ll be submitting suitable candidates as they come in.
