Human Resources Advisor (HRA) – London
Maternity Cover (FTC - 12 months)
Grade: HEO
Working pattern: full time
Location: The role is based in London (Rolls Building). There is an expectation that the successful candidate will spend a minimum of 60% of their time in the office. Some of this time may be spent out in the Region on Court visits, at face-to-face stakeholder meetings or facilitating HR input at regional conferences. The role requires occasional (broadly quarterly) travel to other parts of England including to London. Due to the nature of the role meetings may need to take place outside of core hours. There is an expectation of working flexibly around judicial office holder availability i.e. out-of-court hours before 10am, after 4pm and at lunchtimes. We offer flexible working; our focus is on delivery of outcomes.
Judicial Office – Judicial HR
Team: Judicial HR Business Partner and Organisational Design & Development (HRBP & OD&D)

• Work collaboratively with Regional HR Advisors to support delivery of a consistent, field based HR service to the judiciary.
• Exercise autonomy in managing workload and deploying appropriate HR resources, using initiative and established HR networks.
• Consider sensitive, complex or competing perspectives, analyse information and determine the most appropriate course of action.
• Apply judgement to decide when escalation or specialist input is required.
• Interpret HR policies and terms and conditions, undertaking further investigation where needed to understand wider impacts.
• Operate as an integral member of the HRBP & OD&D team, identifying emerging themes and acting as an intelligent customer into wider Judicial HR services.
• Work collaboratively with colleagues across Judicial HR, the Judicial Office and HMCTS to deliver seamless support.
Key Tasks
• Work closely with HRBPs to support delivery of a strategic, field based HR service.
• Undertake regular travel to courts and tribunals as required to build relationships and provide visible HR support.
• Analyse HR data and information to identify trends, risks or concerns and recommend appropriate interventions.

• Liaise with HMCTS on complex workplace adjustment and reasonable adjustment cases.
• Collate appeal information relating to judicial office holders and support preparation of briefing materials.
