About you

You don't need a not for profit background, but you do need an interest in supporting good mental health and wellbeing for both the people we support and our staff.

You will likely hold a CIPD level 7 qualification, but you may hold level 5 plus significant experience.

You will be comfortable working in an environment of constant change and improvements and in holding a broad range of responsibilities – this is a generalist role. You'll be able to lead and to inspire, using your knowledge and experience to create a great place to work for our teams.

For you

This is an exciting opportunity for an individual who is looking to develop their HR experience and skills in the charity sector within a supportive team environment.
