Role

At Carr Gomm, we have an exciting opportunity for a HR Officer to join our team!

This is an ideal opportunity to gain valuable HR generalist experience within a fast-paced, dynamic team in a Health and Social Care charity.

What are we looking for?

In our eyes, the best HR Officers are creative go-getters with a proactive mind set, who possess excellent communication skills to confidently engage with a diverse client group.

Your main responsibility will be for the recruitment life cycle; managing, co-ordinating and monitoring the Recruitment Process from advertising to the appointment stage whilst being in line with Safer Recruitment.

However, you will also become involved in the broader work of the HR team through contributing to a range of HR generalist tasks including, but not limited to, employee relations, compliance, HR Information, learning and development. You will be able to manage a diverse workload and prioritise the tasks depending on the deadlines.

You will demonstrate and promote the Carr Gomm’s values in your day-to-day work, with a person-centred approach. These values are Choice, Control, Openness & Honesty, Interdependence, Respect, Kindness and Compassion.

We expect that you will have a relevant HR qualification, currently undertaking one or will have some relevant HR experience. You will also be able to manage a diverse and busy workload and work to tight deadlines.

Additional Benefits

· 35 days holiday per year, increasing to 40 days with length of service

· Enhanced maternity, paternity, adoption, and sick leave

· A Defined Contribution pension scheme, with incremental employer contributions

· Access to the Carr Gomm App: which includes free physiotherapy, health coaching and counselling

· Free Blue Light Card (giving access to thousands of discounts and promotions)
