Essex Wildlife Trust is the county’s leading conservation charity, committed to protecting wildlife and inspiring a lifelong love of nature. By 2030, we aim to protect and connect 30% of land and sea and inspire 1 in 4 people in Essex to take action for wildlife.
The post holder will work closely with the Senior Business Partner – People and will have the opportunity to deliver generalist HR work, where no two days are the same. The role is as varied and diverse as the Trust itself, and there is an expectation that this role will operate as an essential support to the Senior practitioner; for example: responding to opportunities to engage with HR policy management; supporting HR project work which includes transformation/change programmes; role modelling the culture and standards of Essex Wildlife Trust to ensure consistency and unity in culture; using initiative and being proactive to drive best practice and a culture of continuous improvement not solely in the People and Culture function, but across the Trust, and with colleagues across the federation of Wildlife Trusts.
The role will ensure the smooth operation of HR processes across the Trust, and will provide a comprehensive advice and support service, contributing to fostering a positive workplace culture that enables the Trust to achieve its mission of protecting wildlife and inspiring people to take action for nature. The role will be responsible for delivering on recruitment, selection, onboarding, employee lifecycle support at all stages, supporting the monthly payroll, maintaining the HRIS and associated modules (recruitment, talent, workforce management, performance and learning) and leading/support on ad-hoc HR project work.
The post holder will support the Trust to attract, develop and retain the best talent by instilling a culture of high performance and continual improvement, delivering high impact and developing the individual and collective expertise to become an employer of choice and align with the scale of future demands.
