Closing date: 21st August 2018 

Interview date: 3rd September 2018 

About the role: 

The Head of HR is all about being guardian of our client's culture, whether that’s: ensuring that their people strategy and supporting policies and procedures provide a positive and engaging employee experience; enabling their leaders to coach, develop and empower their teams to deliver high performance; ensuring that appropriate strategies are in place to attract and retain talent to deliver their strategic priorities now and in the future; ensuring that people at all levels across the organisation understand, and are skilled to deliver, their responsibilities so that they maintain statutory, legislative, regulatory and corporate compliance. 

Responsibilities: 

- Coaching, developing and empowering your team and senior colleagues to deliver the people strategy 
- Applying your strong technical knowledge of HR to deliver amazing outcomes for their people and ultimately their customers 
- Working with internal teams and other stakeholders to plan, prioritise and land projects within your scope 
- Rolling your sleeves up and getting involved in day to day operational work (HR and non-HR) where required 
- Herding cats through narrow doorways 
- Getting involved in areas outside of your remit, either through working on cross-functional project groups, or supporting your senior leadership colleagues 
- Working with colleagues on the senior management team to provide collaborative and cohesive leadership to the organisation, modelling our values and principles 

About you: 

- A great standard of education, with at least a Bachelor’s degree in a related field (HRM, business management, or psychology) 
- You’ll be CIPD qualified to at least Chartered Member level 
- Motivating, coaching and supporting people is what gets you up every day. Nothing makes you happier than seeing someone thrive, knowing you helped them get there 
- You’re equally as comfortable working in the detail as you are floating in the clouds and developing longer-term strategies 
- You’ll not be phased by challenge, resistance and setbacks – whoever said that culture change was easy? 
- You’ll be an authentic and articulate communicator, whether that’s writing clear and engaging policies and board reports, or presenting to the whole workforce at our people conference 
- You’ll have a compelling vision about what makes a great place to work, and the passion and drive to deliver it 
- You’ll be adept at change, having got hands on experience living and breathing new ways of working and knowing how to bring your colleagues along for the experience 

Desirable skills or experience: 

- A Masters in HRM (or related field) would be amazing, as would BPS qualifications in test use (Ability & Personality) 
- Whilst social housing sector experience isn’t essential, it would be great if you’ve operated within a regulated environment previously 

You may have experience of the following: Head of HR, Head of Human Resources, HR Manager, Human Resources Manager, HR Generalist, Human Resources Generalist, HR Consultant, Human Resources Consultant, HR Business Partner, HRBP, etc.
