* Support organisational projects requiring HR and policy expertise.

* Build strong relationships with managers to promote consistent people management practices.

* Contribute to learning resources and management training.

Job Evaluation:

* Lead and support Job Evaluation activity, ensuring roles are assessed fairly and consistently.

* Advise managers on role design, grading outcomes and Job Evaluation processes.

* Maintain and develop Job Evaluation frameworks, guidance and documentation.

* Use workforce and role data to inform pay, grading and organisational decisions.

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI):

* Lead the development and implementation of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion initiatives.

* Provide expert advice on equality legislation and inclusive employment practices.

* Support Equality Impact Assessments (EqIAs) and embed equality considerations into HR policies and organisational projects.

* Work with internal stakeholders and colleague networks to promote an inclusive workplace culture.

* Use workforce data and employee insight to identify opportunities to improve equality outcomes and employee experience.

About You:

You will be an experienced HR professional with:

* Significant HR experience within a Local Authority environment (essential)

* Experience of HR policy development and complex employee relations casework

* Strong understanding of UK employment law and HR best practice

* Expertise in either Job Evaluation or Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

* Excellent analytical, communication and stakeholder management skills

* Ability to manage sensitive issues with professionalism and sound judgement

* Collaborative approach and commitment to fair and inclusive people practices

Working Arrangements:
