Human Resources Advisor

Job description

People Advisor – Cultural Arts Organisation

Central London | 3 days onsite / 2 days WFH

£40K + great benefits | 18-month FTC

Want to use your HR skills somewhere that actually has a purpose?

We’re working with a well-known organisation within the UK’s cultural arts sector who are looking for a People Advisor to join their team on an 18-month FTC.

This is a great role for an HR Advisor / HR Generalist who enjoys being close to the business, building strong relationships with managers and getting stuck into the day-to-day people challenges. You’ll have plenty of autonomy, working across a broad HR remit with a real focus on employee relations and manager support.

What you’ll be doing:

You’ll be a key point of contact for managers across the organisation, providing practical, commercially-minded HR advice and helping them confidently navigate people issues.

The role will include:

• Managing a range of hands-on ER cases, including disciplinaries, grievances and PIPS
• Coaching managers through difficult conversations and people management issues
• Advising on family leave, including maternity, paternity and shared parental leave
• Supporting managers through consultation and redundancy processes - previous experience essential
• Using people data and trends to spot issues and identify opportunities to improve
• Building trusted relationships across a varied and interesting stakeholder group

What we’re looking for:

We’re looking for someone who is confident, pragmatic and comfortable giving advice rather than simply taking notes and passing things on.

You’ll ideally have:

• Solid experience as an HR Advisor, People Advisor or HR Generalist
• Strong hands-on ER experience across absence, performance and conduct
• Experience supporting consultations and redundancies
• Good knowledge of UK employment law
• A natural ability to build relationships and coach managers
• CIPD Level 5 or equivalent experience
• Experience working in a unionised environment would be a bonus

If you’re an HR Advisor who wants a genuinely broad role, strong stakeholder exposure and the chance to work for an organisation that makes a real contribution to the UK’s cultural sector, we’d love to hear from you.
