Are you looking for a new challenge within a professional and supportive HR Advisory Team?
Do you have previous HR experience and/or your CIPD Level 5 or above?
We are excited to be recruiting for one of the South West’s most established public sector organisations. Working as part of a busy HR Advisory Team as an Assistant HR Business Partner, you’ll be providing support and advice to managers on issues including business change, selection and retention of staff, contracts of employment, and performance management (just to name a few)!

- Providing advice, guidance, and support to managers on the effective management of key employee issues
- Leading and supporting projects, acting as a subject matter in relation to service delivery and best HR practice

- Taking an active part in HR processes including attendance, capability, and disciplinary meetings as appropriate
- Advising management on the fairness of action taken and making decisions in relation to disciplinary outcomes
- Working in partnership with HR colleagues, line manager, employees, and senior leaders
