About us
Crisis is the national charity for homeless people. We know that homelessness is not inevitable. We know that together we can end it.
Grow your HR career in one of our fantastic HR Advisor roles!
About the role
Due to internal secondment, Crisis is recruiting a temporary HR Advisor to support three of our directorates - Organisational Development, Policy & External Affairs and Corporate Services. The role will work closely with other HR colleagues to enable the HR function to deliver an excellent service to Crisis’s managers and people. It is a varied and exciting role advising on a broad range of themes including employee relations, policy, change and consultation. This opportunity is for an initial period of six months.
As a HR Advisor, you will be given autonomy to apply your expertise in employment law and people policy to provide customer focussed, pragmatic, and credible advice to managers. You will have a varied role managing an employee relations caseload and working on priorities such as HR policy and process reviews, as well as experience of consultation processes. This is a fantastic opportunity in a supportive and friendly team!
About you
To be successful in this role you will have experience of advising on a range of employment areas. You will be able to demonstrate how you’ve advised and supported managers through, sometimes complex, ER issues to reach a resolution. You will be confident in your knowledge and interpretation of employment law and best practice, and comfortable building relationships with colleagues, to provide appropriate challenge. You will be interested in shaping HR policy and implementing modern practices. If this sounds like you and you want to help deliver our HR advisory service at this exciting time, we want to hear from you.
We want Crisis to be an inclusive employer which then reflects our members and the communities we work in. We want to offer opportunities to everyone regardless of their gender, ethnicity, disability, religion, sexual orientation or age. We particularly welcome applications from people with lived experience of homelessness.
Working at Crisis
As a member of the team, you will have access to a wide range of employee benefits including:
- Interest free loans to purchase a train season ticket or a bike or for a deposit to secure a tenancy
- Mandatory pension scheme, with an employer contribution of 8.5%
- 25 days’ annual leave which increases with service to 28 days
Alongside our excellent staff benefits, we will support your ongoing development to build your skills, experience and career.
When you join us you will have the opportunity to join our staff diversity networks, which aim to champion issues across the organisation, enable staff to be their authentic and best selves and contribute to making Crisis a truly diverse organisation.
We have 5 staff diversity networks which include Black, Asian and Ethnic people, LGBTQ+ people, those with Lived Experience of Homelessness, Women at Crisis and Disability Awareness.
