Enjoy working as a true HR generalist and want to join our commitment to ensure no family face cancer alone?
We are looking for a customer focussed HR Advisor to join our fantastic People Team which plays a fundamental role in developing organisational capability and performance, to achieve Young Lives vs Cancer’s ambitious plans.
When a child is diagnosed with cancer life becomes full of fear, for them and their family. Fear of treatment, but also of families being torn apart, overwhelming money worries, of having nowhere to turn, no one to talk to. At Young Lives vs Cancer, we help children and young people (0-25) and their families find the strength to face whatever cancer throws at them. Join us and your skills will make a real difference to the lives of young cancer patients.

This role is a true generalist role. As HR Advisor, you will play a critical role in ensuring the provision of customer-centric, high quality generalist HR support and specialist advice in all areas of the employee lifecycle, from recruitment, on-boarding, payroll and benefits, performance, employee relations matters and well-being.
Working within the HR Operations teams, you will manage 2 HR Coordinators to ensure the smooth delivery of day-to-day HR activities and processes, as well as work closely with the wider HR Operations team and our HR Business Partners, supporting employee relations and change management where needed.
Young Lives vs Cancer is open to and in support of flexible working. Your flexibility requirements and that of the role will be discussed at interview stage with you.
Currently, we have a London office in Hammersmith, however we are leaving that office in June 2023. We are currently looking for an alternative smaller space elsewhere in London and will have more information on this shortly.
