Are you passionate about making a positive impact in the community? Do you have a strong desire to contribute your skills to a cause that matters? We invite you to apply for our HR Advisor role.

CAYSH is a purpose driven charity, dedicated to providing safer homes and better futures for young homeless people. We believe in the power of community, collaboration and transparency to create lasting change. We provide supported housing, advice and guidance to over 170 vulnerable, homeless young people per year.

Our Community Interest Company has a separate board and exists to provide 24/7 concierge services for young people at CAYSH and externally to vulnerable adults with complex needs.

We are looking for a HR Advisor who can provide clear HR guidance and advice, whilst being supportive of CAYSH's overall mission to end youth homelessness. You will be able to work as a team, liaise with and be supported by our insurer's legal advisory service, and also work independently, leading projects yourself.

This broad HR Advisor role sits within the leadership team, supporting day-to-day HR needs while contributing to business strategy and HR objectives. You will provide practical advice, build trusted relationships and ensure HR practices are consistent, values-led and aligned with CAYSH's mission.

Whilst this role is largely a generalist HR role, your main duties will:

Contribute to the development and delivery of the Charity's HR strategy in line with wider business objectives.
Develop, review and implement HR policies, procedures, guidance and action plans, including those relating to equality, wellbeing and compliance.
Provide professional HR advice and support to managers and employees on employee relations, performance management and employment law matters.
Lead recruitment, selection and onboarding activity, ensuring safer recruitment, equality and inclusion requirements are met.
Identify training and development needs, arrange suitable learning activity and deliver HR related training where required.
Manage appraisal, supervision and staff development processes to promote quality, consistency and high completion rates.
Support organisational change, workforce planning, restructuring and redundancy processes in line with business needs and legal requirements.
Lead, support and develop HR advisory and administrative staff, ensuring team priorities and professional standards are maintained.
Prepare and present HR reports, updates and key performance information for senior leaders, the Board and Trustees/Directors.
Oversee HR systems, records, budgets, payroll, benefits, wellbeing activity and procurement of HR services where required.
