About us: At PSS, we’ve got an important job to do; and that’s to help people make the most of their lives. Whether you’re working directly with the people who use our services, or behind the scenes in one of our offices, every day you’ll be helping to make other people feel happier, healthier, and more supported. We’re a social enterprise, or as we like to call it – a ‘business with a heart’. This means that all the money we make goes back into finding new ways to help people. Our aim is simple; we want to help people change their lives for the better – no matter what life throws at them. We’ve got offices across Manchester, Merseyside, the Midlands, Wales, Lincolnshire, Norfolk, Suffolk and Yorkshire. What’s our people and culture team all about? Our people and culture team are there to make sure our people are happy, that they feel supported, and that they’re guided to be the very best they can be in their roles at PSS. We want our people to be proud of the work that they’re doing when it comes to supporting people to live their best lives, no matter what role or team they’re working in. Providing top-notch support will always be the ultimate goal for us, so we need people who want to be part of making sure we reach that goal day in and day out. This team works a lot like a traditional HR team, so that means they’re working on the usual HR employment law advice and support they give to managers, but they’re also leading on the delivery of PSS’s engagement initiatives and many areas of our wellbeing initiatives. Our people and culture team are the ticking heart behind our busy organisation, which is why it’s really important that we have people who embody the PSS values and enjoy getting up and making a difference to people’s lives. About the role: Do you want to use your administrator experience and skills whilst being part of an amazing team? We’ve got an exciting opportunity to join our fabulous people and culture team in Liverpool.

You’ll be using your Excel skills to support the production of management information and key people metrics for people reporting. You’ll be helping us promote our employee offer and staff engagement and wellbeing incentives. What we need from you It’s not all about what you’ve done before; it’s also about who you are and what you can bring to the table. First and foremost, we need someone who lives all our values of being big-hearted, genuine, determined, professional, and open-minded. You’ll also need: To be super organised and have amazing time management skills. A beady eye for detail to make sure the I’s are dotted and T’s are crossed. To be a team player and willing to lend a hand when you can. To be a real people person. We’re looking for someone who can build and maintain good relationships with people right across PSS.

Minimum English and Maths GCSE (Grade 4) or equivalent Level 2 Before you apply, we just want to let you know some key information about our selection process. We have an Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Policy which aims to eliminate discrimination in employment and our candidates are selected on merit only, which means they’ll be given equal opportunities irrespective of age, disability, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, race, religion or belief. Once you click to apply, you’ll be taken to our external recruitment platform called 'Applied'. Applied are the only hiring software with diversity and fairness built into every step of the process and we’re very proud to partner with them to help us deliver a non-bias recruitment experience. Once you register your details on the site, you’ll be asked for your EDI information such as your age, gender, ethnicity etc. You’ll also be asked questions around whether your parents went to university and whether you had free meals at school which help them to measure socio-economic factors. These questions are set by Applied experts based on extensive research and expertise and you can find out more about this here. This information is completely anonymised, and we never see answers linked to a candidate’s name, so it doesn’t form any part of our decision-making. We only receive combined data about an applicant pool (and only when there’s enough applicants to ensure that answers can remain anonymous). We report on this data every quarter to helps us identify if there's anything in our process that harms the chances of success for candidates from minority groups and any possible steps to help improve this. If you still prefer not to answer, that’s no problem at all as there’s also an option to select ‘prefer not to say’. The only EDI related information that we will see about you is if you tell us that you have any reasonable adjustments needed at any part of our process. Please feel free to get in touch with us if you have any questions about the above by emailing peopleandcultureteampss.org.uk or calling our team on 0151 702 5555.
