[Hiring] Assistant People Advisor @Alzheimer's Society

Role Description

We’re looking for an Assistant People Advisor to join our ER and Change Team on a full-time, permanent basis. Working in HR is about more than policies and procedures. It’s about helping people work through difficult situations, supporting managers with conversations they might find challenging, and making sure colleagues feel supported and treated fairly.

As an Assistant People Advisor, you’ll be part of a team that helps make this happen. You’ll provide advice and guidance to managers on lower-risk employee relations matters, including:

• Attendance
• Performance
• Conduct
• Wellbeing
• Workplace concerns

You’ll help managers understand their options, apply our policies consistently and approach sensitive conversations with care. You’ll also help managers work through people-related issues, building your own advisory skills and confidence along the way.

You’ll have the opportunity to manage lower-risk employee relations cases, with guidance and oversight from a People Advisor. This is a great opportunity for someone who already has experience in an HR or People role and is ready for their next step.

The role is predominantly home-based, with occasional in-person meetings, team days and training events, typically in London or Birmingham.

Qualifications

• Previous experience working within an HR or People function, with an understanding of HR processes and practices.
• Experience providing HR support, advice or guidance on people-related matters, including HR administration or employee relations.
• An understanding of HR policies, procedures and employment practices, along with an interest in developing your employee relations knowledge.
• Clear, approachable communication skills and the ability to build positive working relationships with managers and colleagues.
• Good attention to detail and the ability to maintain accurate records, documentation and confidential information.
• A thoughtful and professional approach to sensitive situations, with the ability to use sound judgement and recognise when to seek advice or support.
• A willingness to learn, ask questions and build your confidence as you take on new responsibilities.

Requirements

• Organised and comfortable managing different priorities.
• Ability to keep accurate records and handle confidential information.
• Confidence in communicating with people at different levels.

Benefits

• Range of benefits and recognition.
• Options for working agilely, contributing to a strong work-life balance.
• Various learning programmes to support your development.
