Do you want to join an organisation who are passionate about improving mental health and wellbeing for Lancashire communities?
As one of Lancashire’s fastest growing charities, we are looking to recruit a Human Resource Officer to support our growing team. This is a new and exciting role which will give the right candidate the opportunity to use their skills and knowledge to improve how we recruit and support our staff team.
As the Human Resource Officer, you will help Lancashire Mind to be a supportive, effective and inclusive work environment. You will work closely with managers across the service with recruitment and human resource support, providing administration support for onboarding new employees and managing human resource systems and procedures.
We are looking for someone who can demonstrate strong interpersonal skills, confident and positive communication at all levels, with experience of providing human resource support. As this is a new role, the right candidate will be able to use their skills and knowledge to develop efficient and effective improvements to our human resource processes.
We particularly encourage applications from people in communities that face mental health inequalities and from anyone with experience of living with a mental health condition. Lancashire Mind offers a 35-hour working week (full-time), with options for flexible working.
We have a dedicated workplace wellbeing programme to ensure staff are supported to look after their own mental health and wellbeing, including an Employee Assistance Programme, annual wellbeing half day and a range of wellbeing activities throughout the year. We offer paid emergency time off for unexpected life events, including caring for dependents.
We have a sick pay scheme and workplace pension scheme and have recently enhanced our annual leave to include long service leave, on top of basic annual leave of 25 days, plus 3 days when the office closes between Christmas and New Year, plus the option to buy or sell leave. Above all, we are a friendly and supportive place to work: “Great staff team, positive and supportive culture.” (Lancashire Mind wellbeing survey, March 2024).
