HM Land Registry are looking for a HR Service Centre Manager to lead and manage a HR Support Desk, HR Admin Team and Payroll function that provide effective, timely and efficient advice and support to line managers and staff on a wide range of human resources issues, including those provided by third parties. In this role you will lead the teams to deliver an effective day to day first line response service to the organisation, whilst ensuring continuous improvement of service quality and performance to ensure high standards of customer service are achieved.

HM Land Registry is committed to becoming the world’s leading land registry for speed, simplicity and an open approach to data, and aiming to achieve comprehensive registration by 2030. We are a government department created in 1862 to register land and property ownership in England and Wales. The Land Register contains more than 25 million titles showing evidence of ownership for more than 86% of the land mass of England and Wales and safeguards land and property ownership valued at £7 trillion, enabling over £1 trillion worth of personal and commercial lending to be secured against property across England and Wales.

As the HR Service Centre Manager, you will need to make decisions on unusual or complex cases that fall outside of HR policies and procedures and ensure services are delivered within agreed Service Level Agreements (SLAs). You will also build and maintain positive and effective customer relationships, ensuring that the internal customer is at the heart of delivery across the HR Service Centre.

You will utilise established HMLR/project management processes for managing people and organisational impacts as well as sound judgement in producing risks assessments and cost and time estimates, to manage change effectively. Through working in partnership with HR colleagues and liaising with other stakeholders, including our recognised trade unions, you will ensure that a comprehensive, efficient and flexible service is provided to the organisation.

You may be required to travel on an ad-hoc basis to other HM Land Registry offices and third party suppliers’ premises, which may include overnight stays during the working week.

Responsibilities

Working a minimum of 30 hours per week, in this role you will analyse and interpret data and feedback relating to first tier HR queries to inform discussions within HR and the wider business to enable continuous improvement of the services provided by the HR Service Centre.

You will be responsible for ensuring all HM Land Registry pensions administration is completed accurately and on time in line with legislation and Cabinet Office requirements. This will include scheduling, planning and implementing day to day, annual and ad hoc pension activity, and appropriate and timely communications to HMLR staff.

You will manage contracts with relevant third-party service providers, building and maintaining effective and positive working relationships, ensuring quality of service, adherence to legal requirements and value for money. You will also act as a first point of contact for internal and external audits, ensuring that the HR Service Centre provides required information in a timely and accurate manner.

You will be responsible for managing 3 direct reports and leading and guiding the wider HR Service Centre Team, which consists of approximately 25 staff. The team are working both from home and in the office. HM Land Registry are currently adopting a hybrid working approach so there may be an element of home working in this role to be discussed and agreed with your line manager.

With either CIPD chartered membership, a level 7 CIPD qualification or equivalent experience in a HR role, you will have proven experience in the operational management of a responsive HR service environment and delivery of SLAs to high standards of customer service. You will have sound experience in evaluating both qualitative and quantitative data to establish and develop improvements to a service. You will be able to communicate clearly and effectively, both verbally and in writing, with staff at all grades and possess sound decision-making skills and judgement. Furthermore, you will be experienced in supplier contract management and budget management.
