Full job descriptionHR Business Partner
Ipswich, Suffolk | Charity Sector
Are you an experienced HR professional who wants to use your skills to make a genuine difference?
We are delighted to be supporting a well-established, values-led charity in Suffolk, whose work makes a meaningful difference to individuals, families and communities. This is an opportunity to join an organisation where collaboration and making a positive impact are at the heart of everything they do.
The charity is moving towards a business partnering model, and this is a position that may suit someone who is looking to move into their first business partnering role. The position will retain an operational element whilst they look to embed the BP approach, so the role will grow as the duties and responsibilities do.
The Role
As part of an established HR team, you will work closely with managers and senior leaders, providing expert HR advice, coaching and support across a range of services. Combining hands-on employee relations with longer-term workforce planning and organisational development, you will play an important role in helping the organisation create a positive, inclusive and supportive working environment.
Key responsibilities include:
*Providing advice and guidance on employee relations matters and employment law.
*Coaching and supporting managers to build confidence and strengthen their people management skills.
*Contributing to workforce planning, succession planning and organisational development.
*Leading HR support for restructures and organisational change.
*Using workforce data and insights to identify trends and inform decision-making.
*Promoting employee engagement, wellbeing, inclusion and retention.
*Maintaining accurate HR records and workforce reporting.
*Supporting continuous improvement across HR processes and services.
What You’ll Bring:
*Broad HR experience, particularly within employee relations.
*CIPD Level 5 qualification or equivalent practical experience.
*Strong knowledge of employment law and HR best practice.
*Experience coaching managers and influencing stakeholders.
*Experience supporting organisational change and workforce planning.
*Excellent communication, analytical and relationship-building skills.
*The ability to manage competing priorities and work independently.
*Flexibility to travel between service locations when required.
Experience within the charity, third or public sector would be advantageous.
Why Join?:
This is more than an HR role. It is an opportunity to use your professional expertise in an organisation driven by purpose, where the contribution of every individual matters. You will be joining a team that believes in giving back, supporting people and making a lasting difference within the local community. If you are passionate about people, share strong values and want your HR career to have a wider purpose, this could be an excellent next step. This position is offered on a hybrid basis, and could be completed as a part (4 days a week) or full time.
