People Advisor

This role is based at Beeston, Nottingham., Our People Advisors work alongside Directors, Heads of Service, and Managers to provide proactive HR support and guidance on a range of people management and workforce issues, enabling leaders to improve business performance through their people. This spans an array of HR disciplines, including the planning of resourcing activity, change management, employee engagement and wellbeing, employee relations management, organisational and job design, leadership and talent development, and colleague capability and skills.

People Advisors work directly, with and through other HR colleagues, to get things done and deliver results for our managers. Through this, they strengthen MTVH's culture, embed our values into how we deliver services, and create the right environment for improved organisational performance.

While all People Advisors work across teams to help colleagues and provide support where it's needed, they are also assigned to lead work with particular directorates, acting as their first point of contact for most operational HR issues.

With prior experience in delivering great customer service in a HR environment, you will have great relationship-building and stakeholder management skills. You will also have a curious, analytical, and pragmatic approach, and be able to identify the opportunities and risks in various courses of action. To support this, you will have a sound knowledge of current UK employment legislation and HR best practices and will have experience in coaching and influencing others to achieve results.
