SHARED SENIOR HUMAN RESOURCES BUSINESS PARTNER (Ref: SHRBP)

Salary £53,506.44

Full time – 37 hours per week

It’s an exciting time to join Broxbourne Council on our latest shared service adventure with East Herts District Council alongside two small friendly Human Resources (HR) teams, with lots of promising new initiatives in the pipeline. We are looking for an experienced, enthusiastic, self-motivated Human Resources professional who will be responsible for providing generalist HR support (including casework) and advice to teams across both councils, specialising in Employee Relations.

Responsibilities include:

Working with both councils to develop and improve the deployment and management of our valuable human resource teams
Providing effective day to day advice and support to managers and employees on terms and conditions of employment and the application of HR policies and procedures.
Line managing HR Business Partners and assisting with HR cases where relevant
Provide on-site HR support across both organisations
Participation in a range of employee meetings, including grievance/disciplinary investigations and hearings, sickness meetings, employee relations and management meetings etc.
Writing reports, policies etc.
Providing advice and implementation of change management initiatives including restructures, TUPE etc.

To be successful in this role you will have previous human resources experience, ideally within a local authority or other public sector organisation. You will also need to be Level 5 CIPD qualified or have relevant experience. The role requires a good communicator with both verbal and written skills and the ability to converse at ease with staff and members of the public to provide advice in fluent English. You will need to have an innovative and positive approach to work with exceptional customer service and negotiation skills. Experience of working in a highly pressured environment will also be required.

Although both councils support hybrid working, the successful candidate will need to have a flexible approach to working across both sites in person and manage their time effectively. As such you will split your time between Broxbourne’s Office at Bishops’ College, Churchgate, Cheshunt and East Herts’ Offices at Wallfields, Pegs Lane Hertford.

We have adopted the core values of Teamwork, Innovation, Effectiveness and Respect (TIER).

The values and their underlying behaviours, demonstrate our commitment to providing excellent customer care, working in a joined up way, showing respect at all times and looking at innovation and forward thinking solutions. We pride ourselves on recruiting, developing and retaining talent who share this commitment.

We are committed to safer recruitment, safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and vulnerable adults. We expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

The Council’s benefits package includes generous leave entitlement, a full training and development programme, membership of the Local Government Pension Scheme and free membership to the Council’s local leisure centres, which includes free access to gyms, swimming pools, fitness classes, racket sport sessions, a health suite and a range of generous discounts across other leisure and culture services.
