What the job involves
This is an exciting opportunity for a passionate and flexible People & Performance (HR) Advisor – who’s happy to roll their sleeves up – to join our team of people experts supporting employees and advising and coaching managers and department heads to successfully manage, develop and retain the best people to deliver our ambitious strategic objectives and business plan.

Working collaboratively our internal stakeholders to optimise people performance and deliver an excellent employee experience, you’ll manage a range of employee relations cases, support the development and delivery of effective change management programmes and create and iterate policies, procedures and guidance to ensure alignment with our organisational culture and working principles.

Establishing yourself as a trusted advisor – to both people managers and employees alike – is key to success in this role and will enable you to identify and maximise opportunities to support the development of our current and aspiring managers and drive action plans that capture learning opportunities and enhance the employee experience.

Part of a busy and growing team, in a fast paced and demanding environment this is a hands-on role which is all about people – so naturally, a people-centric approach is key! There will also be lots of opportunities to develop and grow your knowledge as an active member of cross-organisational project or working groups focusing on Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, Wellbeing or Employee Experience (to name just a few!).

What we want from you
We’re looking for a people orientated, self-motivated and hands on HR professional, who is experienced in building effective relationships with managers and employees; confident managing several employee relations cases at any time; and comfortable making decisions and problem solving on day-to-day HR matters.
You’ll need to have strong interpersonal skills and integrity, be able to communicate well with others and quickly build credibility. It’s a given that you’ll understand the importance of confidentiality and discretion when working in a trusted role with access to highly sensitive information and effectively managing a busy and varied workload won’t be anything new to you.
You’ll have in-depth knowledge of best practice and employment law alongside a good understanding of the principles of GDPR and how they relate to communicating, storing and processing employee data.

Why work for us?
We’re here to stop prostate cancer killing men and damaging bodies and lives. We unite the brightest minds in science and healthcare and the most passionate and caring people to help men live long and live well. As the number of men diagnosed with prostate cancer continues to rise, we continue to make advances in research to focus on radical improvements in diagnosis, treatment and support so that we can build a future where lives are not limited by prostate cancer.
Work with us and you’ll see your efforts pay off as we fight for a better future for men.

What we offer
Join our team and you’ll be working at an award-winning charity that will support you to develop your skills and expertise. We’re particularly proud of our agile working arrangements which allow (as appropriate to the role) for flexibility around where and when we carry out our work to ensure we can achieve the best results for the charity, at the same time as balancing our working lives with life’s other commitments!

We also offer a competitive benefits package including generous leave entitlements, season ticket loans, a cycle to work scheme, an enhanced contributory pension scheme, life insurance and group income protection as well as a Health Cash Plan and free advice and support on pretty much anything via our Employee Assistance Programme.

Our commitment
Our teams, supporters, partners, and those living with prostate cancer, come from all walks of life. We draw upon the difference in who we are, what we’ve experienced and how we think to build a future where lives are not limited by prostate cancer. Not only is it the right thing to do, it makes our charity stronger and helps us reach more people. If you share our ambition we would love to hear from you.
