Job description
Following the successful appointment to a number of our Trust wide vacancies, we are now recruiting to the remaining Band 6 Senior People Advisor oppo...
These roles form part of the natural movement within our service, where colleague development, secondments and maternity leave create opportunities for others to step in, grow and contribute. For the right individuals, this is a chance to build experience, visibility and capability within a complex and fast-paced NHS environment.
You will thrive in this role if you are able to recognise patterns where others see noise, ask difficult questions with compassion, and bring clarity, structure and calm to complex situations. You will understand the balance between urgency and importance and be motivated by the opportunity to make a meaningful difference to staff experience.
The core expectation is clear: you will be someone colleagues turn to when things are tough, complex or sensitive. You will lead on challenging employee relations matters, support leaders through difficult workforce and cultural issues, and use insight and evidence to influence decision-making. You will build trusted relationships across clinical and non-clinical areas and bring both professional judgement and humanity to your work, helping to create the conditions for improved staff and patient outcomes.
You will be visible, respected and, at times, relied upon. Just as importantly, you will be supported by an experienced AD of People and a directorate of specialist colleagues who understand the realities of delivering HR in today's NHS.
University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust strives to have an inclusive culture where everyone feels like they belong, can thrive, knows that they add value and feels valued. We do this by developing compassionate and culturally competent leaders, being values driven in all that we do and by creating a welcoming and inclusive workplace that thrives on the diversity of our people. As such we want to attract and recruit talented individuals from all backgrounds, and for each of you to feel supported for the diversity you bring, to achieve your full potential. For those staff with a disability, including physical disability, long term health condition, mental health or neurodiverse condition, this also means being committed to making reasonable adjustments needed for you to carry out your role.
