Summary
Advocacy is a powerful force for change. It allows individuals to have their voices heard and respected when decisions are being made about their health and social care. It raises awareness of people’s rights and entitlements and empowers people to advocate for themselves.

As HR Advisor, you will:
• Provide professional, proactive HR support across the full employee lifecycle.
• Act as a first point of contact for employee relations, offering advice and coaching to managers and staff.
• Work with the HR Officer on the coordination of recruitment, onboarding, and induction, ensuring safer recruitment and safeguarding standards.
• Promote equality, diversity, and inclusion in all HR activities.
• Support staff wellbeing initiatives and signpost to appropriate services.
• Uphold confidentiality, GDPR, and best practice in all HR processes.
• Work collaboratively within a small, supportive HR team and with managers across the organisation.
