We're looking for an accomplished Human Resources professional with a firm grasp of employment law, to join us as a HR Business Partner and advise and support on People initiatives and complex HR issues.

Our People Directorate is responsible for developing and implementing people management objectives across Shelter and its trading company - STL. We also partner Shelter's various directorates and departments to ensure we provide tailored, pragmatic and robust people management solutions to business challenges.

We also manage restructures and transfers, employee engagement, talent management, reward and recognition, staff development and recruitment, payroll processes, internal communications and volunteering. Put simply, you can expect plenty of challenges ahead.

About the role

As HR Business Partner, your role will involve partnering the organisation to understand business needs and advise on People initiatives that support the delivery of our business objectives. It will also involve working with other Business Partners in the wider People directorate to deliver cultural and structural change management initiatives that have been tailored for the needs of the business. Supporting the Head of HR Business Partnering in the continued development and delivery of a wider People plan will be important too, as will working with L&OD colleagues to create, deliver and evaluate training.

We'll also be looking for a strong understanding across a broad spectrum of HR specialisms & functions and a significant experience of HR legislation, consultation and change combined with proven experience of using data and insight to influence decision-making. You're proactive, customer-focused and what's more, you enjoy working collaboratively for the good of a business and are great at building a network of good relationships and developing a thorough understanding of an organisation, as well as the wider sector.
