Following a period of growth at St Elizabeth Hospice we have a new opportunity for a HR Advisor to join our HR team.
We provide a comprehensive HR service to all business areas of St Elizabeth Hospice and the Care Agency. Working with leaders and key stakeholders, we shape, develop and deliver People plans and solutions in line with the needs of the hospice and the strategic priorities.
You will partner, advise, coach and guide managers and the wider teams in your key directorates on all aspects of HR. The role will also participate in, and where appropriate, lead working parties to facilitate the delivery of HR policies, projects and initiatives. There will also be opportunities to suggest and implement improvements to the way we work.
The ideal candidate for this role will have proven practical experience in a range of effective HR processes and conversations (such as those involving absence, capability, disciplinary and grievance hearings, investigations, consultations, appeals, flexible working meetings and family leave discussions) by providing knowledge, counsel and practical support, enabling productive dialogue and ensuring that managers are equipped to reach fair, well-considered outcomes for their teams. As well as excellent communication and coaching skills, you will be self-motivated, resilient and have the ability to adapt to frequently changing priorities and demands.
St Elizabeth Hospice is committed to safeguarding and protecting the adults and young people that we work with and has a zero-tolerance approach to abuse, neglect and discrimination of any person. As such, all posts are subject to a rigorous safer recruitment process, including the disclosure of criminal records and vetting checks. We have a range of robust safeguarding policies in place which promote safeguarding across the hospice and staff are expected to undertake regular, mandatory safeguarding training to equip them with the knowledge and skills to identify and respond to potential risks.
St Elizabeth Hospice is an independent charity and hospice, which improves life for people in the East Suffolk, Great Yarmouth and Waveney areas living with a progressive or life-limiting illness.
Established in 1989, the hospice has built a reputation for delivering high-level care to patients and the community it serves. Through medicine and therapy, they ease pain; give life purpose and make life liveable. Last year the charity supported over 4,000 patients and their families.
The hospice’s work is centred on the individual's needs and they provide specialist support wherever it is needed; whether that is in the home, another setting in the community, in hospital or in the hospice itself. Support is provided to patients and their families via the Inpatient Unit, the Community Care Unit including outpatient’s clinics, home visits from the community nursing, medical or therapy team, the OneCall 24/7 telephone helpline and bereavement support.
In 2023, St Elizabeth Hospice merged with East Coast Hospice to form a collaborative approach to developing achievable and sustainable specialist palliative care services for people living the Great Yarmouth and Waveney area.
