Cleveland Fire Brigade is passionate about people, and this is an opportunity to lead a team of HR professionals who are proud to make a difference, supporting the Brigade’s goal to make Teesside safer and stronger.
Working with an experienced and supportive team, this is an opportunity for you to use your knowledge and enthusiasm to support the continuous improvement of the HR Service. This will be a busy and varied role, and your remit will involve various responsibilities, including coaching, motivating, and developing HR team members and working with the Head of HR to develop strategic direction for the whole range of HR activities delivered.
A key area of focus will be to support the continuous cultural improvement to ensure employees are engaged, empowered, supported, and encouraged to thrive and innovate. You will also play a pivotal role in the provision of pensions administration, which currently includes working on two key pensions remedy projects. A working knowledge of pensions is therefore desirable but not essential as training can be provided for the right candidate.
We're looking for someone who demonstrates openness and trust with the ability to engage and motivate others. An individual who is knowledgeable in HR best practice and employment legislation and has a strong commitment to personal development.
You will be joining a professional, proud, passionate, and inclusive team and will have access to a range of benefits including:
1. Flexible working with our annualised hours system
2. Membership of the Local Government career average pension scheme
3. Family friendly policies to help you manage your home and work life balance
4. Free access to on-site gyms
5. Support when you may need it from the Fire Fighters Charity
6. Discounts from local and national chains / suppliers with your Blue Light Card
7. 24/7 Employee Assistance line plus excellent occupational health services
8. Free parking at any of our sites
