HR Lead

Are you a senior HR generalist with exceptional communication skills and the ability to deliver change programmes? Would you like to manage delivery of a strategic People Plan, lead HR transformation and drive delivery of critical projects? I am working exclusively with Tommy’s, the UK's largest charity funding research and providing support and information into the causes and prevention of pregnancy complications, miscarriage, stillbirth and premature birth. Located in central London close to Cannon Street station, Tommy’s currently has around 90 employees and is embarking on an exciting period of growth.

To support its new strategy, Tommy’s has launched a People Plan, which seeks to build an expert, representative and passionate team. Tommy’s is committed to making their organisation a place where everyone is treated fairly, has the same opportunities, is supported to achieve their very best and feels welcome, included and part of the Tommy’s team. The charity goes into the office on a hybrid basis, allowing employees to work from home up to 3 days per week.

The purpose of this 12-month FTC HR Lead role paying £49,000 - £53,600 will be to coordinate delivery of the charity’s People Plan and drive key HR projects to create a high-performing HR function. You will also review and update the current HR processes to ensure they are in line with Tommy’s growth and direction.

The key responsibilities of this role include:

• Managing the day-to-day HR operations and payroll.
• Advising staff and managers on HR policies and procedures.
• Coordinating delivery of the People Plan, including the development of a project plan and supporting SLT leads in the delivery.
• Supporting the activity of EEDI and Wellbeing working groups.
• Leading on the rolling out of the new HR Information System (Sense HR).
• Developing a recruitment strategy.
• Continuously improving HR processes.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a senior HR professional with charity sector experience. You will need to have experience in supporting through periods of change along with delivering improvements to the HR function. Reporting into the Chief Operating Officer, the HR Lead will need to be able to make an immediate impact and work collaboratively across the organisation to effectively embed change and engage colleagues throughout this exciting transformation period. The role also requires the post holder to build and manage relationships with stakeholders both internally and externally.

The interview process will consist of two interview stages. The first will be held virtually and the second in person at their office in central London. Tommy’s would ideally like someone in post in April 2025. For information about this important HR role working for an amazing charity, please get in touch.
