Description

Do you have significant HR experience, with an ability to build strong partner relationships, and a track record of resolving key people issues through advice to managers? Can you manage your own workload, taking personal responsibility for progressing people activities?

We are recruiting for an experienced HR Business Partner to partner with managers and heads of department on all people matters in specific areas of the charity. This is offered on a fixed term contract basis until the end of December 2025.

About this job

Reporting to the Senior HR Business Partner, the successful candidate will:

• Build and maintain strong working relationships with key stakeholders in specific areas within the charity, acting as a trusted partner for HR related advice.
• Develop a thorough understanding of partnered areas including departmental objectives, role and team structures, and key people issues.
• Provide tailored HR advice and guidance, using metrics and data to spot trends and identify risks and areas of opportunity.
• Manage informal and formal employee relations cases to successful resolution.
• Work closely with specialist teams in HR to improve people practices.

About you

Ideally qualified to CIPD level 7 (or with equivalent experience), you will have previously worked in a HR generalist role and will have a proven track record of resolving key people issues through a thorough understanding of departmental activities, and tailoring advice to managers. You will have significant experience in successfully resolving a wide variety of complex ER issues with the ability to build and maintain strong partner relationships, as well as the ability to communicate complex and sensitive information to diverse audiences.

In return for all of this, we have a comprehensive benefits package, which includes excellent annual leave, Perkbox and pension allowances, and you will join a team of highly professional and driven colleagues in a brilliant upbeat and collaborative environment, all with a genuine passion for dog welfare.

This is a hybrid role with 2 days per week in our Manchester centre (or another Dogs Trust site, as required).
