JOB TITLE: Senior Specialist, People & Culture

REPORTING TO: HR Director

JOB LOCATION: Coalisland (hybrid)

TERMS: Permanent role

THE JOB

As Senior Specialist for People & Culture, you will be joining an award‑winning team (Best People Team, CIPD NI Awards 2023) whose principal aim is to create and facilitate a market‑leading colleague experience for everyone who works for the Fibrus group of companies. To this end, our People Strategy is based on three pillars: we will enable people to believe in our mission and values, to become who they want to be, and feel a true sense of belonging where they can be themselves.

Our approach to People & Culture leans towards the most modern ideals of how a HR function should operate. We imbed ourselves at the heart of Fibrus and are value‑led, colleague‑centric, commercially adept and solutions focused. As such, you’ll be joining a team with a real focus on driving engagement across a range of Fibrus’ departments and divisions, with a view towards implementing market‑leading practices from a people management and policy perspective, and you’ll act as a strategic partner to leadership and a trusted advisor to all.

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

We are seeking an exceptional candidate with a solid HR background and a desire to add true value to the colleague experience in the Viberoptix business unit. Ideally, you’ll be CIPD qualified and have experience in most, if not all of, the following areas of People & Culture:

• providing support to all levels of the organisation throughout the colleague life cycle
• designing and leading colleague engagement initiatives
• creating and introducing new policies and practices to an organisation
• facilitating organisational design and talent development initiatives
• partnering with specialist functions such as Recruitment and Learning & Development
• leading on complex colleague relations matters, particularly conduct and capability processes
• managing annual people initiatives, i.e. performance review cycles, compensation reviews and bonus schemes

Coupled with experience in those areas, we’d also expect that you’re:

• an exceptional, empathetic communicator
• able to effectively manage and provide expert guidance to stakeholders at all levels of the business
• able to work independently and take ownership of solutions,
• adept in the use of Excel and Powerpoint,
• comfortable with a range of HR technologies from HR information systems through to colleague survey tools.
