Our mission at St. Hilda’s East is to equip our service users with the resilience to navigate modern life. We welcome everyone into our spaces and work together to deliver engaging activities, promote social contact and ultimately enrich lives.
We employ over 40 staff and engage about 65 volunteers each year. In a recent survey of our staff, more than three-quarters reported St Hilda’s as a great place to work, and this role will help embed best practice relating to employment and volunteering to ensure we can build upon this positivity. The postholder will work closely with our Senior Leadership Team and the Board, including a Trustee who has several decades experience as a HR manager and consultant. The role would highly suit someone in the early stages of their career in HR wishing to expand upon their experience or, alternatively, someone with a career in HR behind them, looking for a change of scene and to get involved in a mission driven charity.
The postholder will provide support and guidance on HR matters to all staff and managers, helping to foster a positive and inclusive workplace culture. Our newly refreshed strategic priorities include a commitment to increasing volunteer participation within the charity’s work, and the postholder will play a key role in implementing this by improving our procedures and enhancing our capacity.
This job is for you, if you:
1. Have at least 2 years’ experience in HR administration and practice, ideally within the charity sector.
2. A good working knowledge of employment legislation and best practice in people management.
3. The ability and passion to drive forward an agenda around staff and volunteer engagement and wellbeing.
4. Ability to write organisational policies.
5. Demonstrable knowledge of best practice around volunteer management, or the ability to learn quickly.
