HR Manager (Generalist)

This role will be based on the university campus with scope for it to be undertaken in a hybrid manner. We are also open to discussing flexible working arrangements.

Are you an experienced HR professional who is able to develop and deliver workforce solutions to address organisational challenges? Can you demonstrate effective relationship management and influencing skills? Do you want to bring your knowledge of HR best practice to one of the largest higher education institutions in the UK and join a HR team committed to delivering an ever-improving service?

You will bring your knowledge of HR best practice to a HR team committed to delivering an ever-improving service. Our University is renowned globally for the quality of our teaching and research, and has an ambitious vision for the future.  The HR team has a significant part to play in championing and supporting the delivery of that vision.

Partnering with our leaders, you will be embedded within an area of the organisation, offering advice and challenge; developing engaging workforce strategies which promote organisational improvement; managing changes effectively and delivering an efficient and effective “business as usual”. Working collaboratively with colleagues across the whole HR team to support the delivery of a consistent and quality service, you will also be required to take a lead on service wide HR strategic initiatives.

With an Advanced (Level 7) CIPD qualification (or equivalent) and a track record of leading and delivering a range of innovative HR solutions, you will bring strong commitment to service excellence and continuous service improvement.
