Based in Islington, London

Greenpeace is an international campaigning organisation with 26 offices around the world. Our vision is a greener, healthier and more peaceful planet. We bring about change by investigating, documenting and exposing the causes of environmental destruction. And we take peaceful direct action to protect our Earth and promote solutions for a green, peaceful and more equitable future.

This is an opportunity to make an immediate and lasting impact with your generalist knowledge – and prove your passionate belief in the wider contribution that HR can make.

In this role, you’ll be delivering high-quality, proactive advice and support across key HR policies and processes, including diversity and inclusion, recruitment, wellbeing support, people and performance management,.

We’ll also expect you to develop HR information management and reporting to support decision-making, and to continually promote and improve HR services to meet organisational needs and boost the effectiveness of Greenpeace as a whole.

The role is based in our London office. As we progress to a hybrid working model, you may have flexibility to work from home, but you will need to commute into our Islington head office on a regular basis.

What we're looking for:

  • The generalist HR experience to build effective professional relationships and provide wide-ranging advice to staff and managers.
  • CIPD qualification and/or evidence of professional operational experience to equivalent standard.
  • Experience of HRIS administration, data management and reporting.
  • The ability to identify, manage and report on HR metrics to inform HR solutions.
  • A creative and analytical approach to HR problem solving, with the ability to critically appraise HR policies and processes and suggest improvements.

We give you: 
You’ll be encouraged to develop both personally and professionally, taking advantage of the wide range of learning and development opportunities available to our staff. We offer great benefits such as a generous pension scheme, subsidised lunches, free yoga and a wealth of well-being resources, just to name a few.

Company

eenpeace is a movement of people who are passionate about defending the natural world from destruction. Our vision is a greener, healthier and more peaceful planet, one that can sustain life for generations to come. 

We are independent. We don’t accept any funding from governments, corporations or political parties – our work is funded by ordinary people. That means we are free to confront governments and corporations responsible for the destruction of the natural world and push for real change. 

We do this by investigating, documenting and exposing the causes of environmental destruction. We work to bring about change by lobbying, consumer pressure and mobilising members of the general public. And we take peaceful direct action to protect our Earth and promote solutions for a green and peaceful future. 

Greenpeace was founded in 1971 by a small group of concerned individuals, who set sail to Amchitka island off the coast of Alaska to try and stop a US nuclear weapons test. Their old fishing boat was called “The Greenpeace”. Today, Greenpeace is present in over 40 countries around the world. Our movement is growing every day and our commitment to realising our vision is as strong as ever. 

We find ourselves at a pivotal point in human history now. Climate change is rapidly accelerating and we are feeling the effects of it ever more – in the changes to our air, sea levels and more extreme weather events. The need to act to protect our planet has never been so urgent, yet governments and corporations are still dragging their feet. Our mission is to promote radical changes and new solutions to the ways we live on this planet so that we can all call it home for generations to come.
