Are you experienced in and passionate about People Relations? Have you previously led and motivated a driven team to deliver a first class customer service? Are you adept at influencing and engaging with senior managers?

If so, you might be the People Relations Manager we need.

About the role

The British Heart Foundation (BHF) has ambitious plans to ensure it becomes a truly world class Organisation. This’ll involve proactively leading on all people initiatives including workforce planning, employee engagement and relations, and driving high quality customer service.

As People Relations Manager you’ll lead our team to ensure the effective delivery of employee relations advice and guidance to line managers which is consistent with legislation and best practice. 

You’ll ensure a great customer approach with colleagues that’s in line with  BHF values while helping to review and revise policies and procedures to ensure they shape our employee experience.

In a role that's pivotal to our overall success, you’ll work in collaboration with the wider award winning People and Organisational Development team in implementing a value-added People Relations function. This exciting and varied opportunity has a focus on HR processes including KPI reporting, compliance, helping developing effective HR systems and managing employee relations.

About you

You’ll be CIPD qualified with a proven track record in leading a People Relations function, preferably in a large multi-site organisation. You’ll also  possess excellent communication skills and be able to demonstrate experience in managing and influencing senior stakeholders.

You’ll be able to excel at managing and driving positive culture change and have a great understanding on how best to manage and implement these developments.

While previous experience of the non-profit sector is not required, you'll be highly motivated by our mission and the values that we live by every day: we are brave, informed, compassionate and driven.

In return we offer a generous benefits package including flexible working, healthcare cover, dental plan, subsidised gym membership and substantial annual leave.
