HR Dept Woking & Guildford Hiring for HR Manager Part Time at Godalming Full Time

Are you an experienced and qualified HR professional based in South Surrey or the surrounding area and interested in joining a growing HR team on a part-time basis?

If you’re looking for a new challenge in your HR career and want the chance to develop your skills, we may be just what we are looking for.

We are looking for an HR Manager to join our team who can understand the needs of our clients, feel confident in selling our services and be motivated to deliver exceptional customer service. In addition, we want someone who is eager to support our growth plans. Does this sound like you?

However, this role comes with a note of caution and will not suit everyone.

This role is different from being an HR Manager for a single organisation. You are, in effect, an HR Manager for lots of different businesses covering many different sectors, all at the same time. This means you will be advising on a diverse range of HR issues.

You need to be well organised and, have the ability, to deal with multiple clients in different industries. One minute you might be advising on an issue in a manufacturing company, the next you could be dealing with a CEO of a Charity or out on-site leading on a disciplinary.

This is HR outsourcing, so all, of our clients have different contracts, different holiday entitlement and different sick pay arrangements. It’s not only the employment terms that are different but also the workplace culture and the personalities that you’re supporting.

Every day is different, and sometimes you may feel like you have experienced a career’s worth of HR challenges in one week! It really is the whole HR lifecycle that we deal with, so it is never a dull moment! However, we are the HR Department to many businesses, all needing time and support so prioritising and providing great client delivery is key!

Our business is built on the strength of our relationships. While expected to work with all our clients, you will also be allocated your own clients and will provide everything for them from offer letters and bespoke contracts, holiday calculations and HR Advice. Sometimes you will be required to work on-site or virtually to deliver on projects or to conduct formal meetings.

The Role:
Providing our full range of HR services to clients from one-off casework and support to proactive policy design, review and drafting of contracts, developing handbooks, recruiting staff.

Responding to queries from our clients by email and telephone – ranging from simple to very complex needs.

Attending client sites to conduct formal meetings and investigations.

Ability to handle enquiries and liaise with potential/current clients, contacts and our wider HR Dept network by email and telephone.

Keeping our CRM system up to date with the advice given.

Be an ambassador for The HR Dept Woking & Guildford through building great relationships in the local area. This may involve attending appropriate networking meetings and attendance at events. These could be occasionally outside of your normal hours.

Supporting marketing activities through social media activity.

Design and delivery of training workshops and seminars.
