The HR Manager will be the key advisor to Heads of Service and Assistant Directors . The role is part strategic and part operational. They will manage the work of the rest of the advisers, overseeing the allocation of case work, supervising advisors and ensuring that the Council’s people management targets are achieved at an operational level.
The HR Manager will work collectively with the Assistant HR Manager to manage the staff resources within their HR grouping (Social and Care Services / Corporate and Core Services) as a pool of generic staff along with being a generic group in their own right.

This will allow the whole groups to work on a single project for one department while advisors work on individual employee cases.

Experience working as a strategic partner, supporting senior managers up to and including Director level to identify interventions and deliver action which add value to the organisation.
