Responsibilities, activities and duties
The HR Support Hub is part of the Strategy, Stability and Support Team within the HR Business Partnering Team (HMPPS). There are two distinct teams within the HR Support Hub (Management Information Team and Resolutions and Communications Team) whose objective is to enable the HR Business Partnering Team (HMPPS) to deliver a consistent business partnering service by providing products and services deployable through HRBP teams across all HMPPS.
This role requires the ability to multi-task and provide a diverse range of support services to the broader HR Business Partnering Team (HMPPS). Strong communication and organisational skills are essential, along with the ability to prioritise personal workload and adapt to accommodate urgent tasks.
The post holder will work with a wide range of stakeholders, products, services, and People policies.
Decision Making and Service Delivery
Maintaining high-quality standards is essential to delivering accurate, timely, and trusted support.

Communication
Strong communication skills are particularly important for building trust, influencing others, and supporting informed decision-making. Clear, inclusive, and well-structured communication is essential to delivering an effective and trusted service. This means ensuring that information is accurate, accessible, and tailored to the needs of different audiences.
