These include but are not limited to, shaping the organisational structure, managing recruitment and retention strategies, overseeing pay and grading systems, facilitating training and development programs, promoting wellbeing, handling employment relations, and implementing performance management.
The Assistant HR Advisor, in collaboration with the wider team, is responsible for delivering a comprehensive HR and payroll function to all staff and line managers, including advising on and implementing various policies, managing complex employee relation matters, maintaining accurate personnel data, and advising on HR policies and procedures, all within HR best practice.

The role holder provides a diagnostic service on specific HR issues and conducts analysis and definition of the root problem, identifying and recommending solutions to meet service requirements. In addition, a high degree of confidentiality, autonomy and initiative is critical.
The successful candidate will have substantial experience working in an HR role within a busy department (experience within a Higher Education environment would be advantageous).
