People Advisor in London

Harris Hill is delighted to be partnering with a well-established London charity that supports families facing financial hardship. We are seeking a People Advisor to join their collaborative and values-driven People team, playing a key role in supporting colleagues and managers across the organisation.

This is a flexible opportunity that can be offered on either a part-time or full-time basis (28–35 hours per week), and the organisation is open to discussing working patterns that suit the successful candidate. The role is predominantly home‑based, with monthly team meetings in Central London and occasional travel to the charity’s centres across Central London to support colleagues and operational needs.

The position is a highly generalist HR role with broad exposure across the full employee lifecycle. The successful candidate will provide expert advice and guidance to managers and staff, support recruitment and onboarding, manage employee relations cases, oversee probation and contractual changes, maintain accurate HR records and reporting, contribute to learning and development initiatives, support payroll administration, and help ensure policies and procedures remain compliant and effective.

Working closely with the Director of People, the postholder will also have the opportunity to contribute to wider People projects across areas such as engagement, wellbeing, inclusion, reward, and organisational development.

We are looking for an approachable and proactive HR professional with strong generalist HR experience and a good understanding of UK employment law, policies and procedures, and HR best practice. You will be confident managing a varied workload, handling employee relations matters, building positive relationships with managers and colleagues, and working both independently and collaboratively. Excellent organisational and communication skills are essential, as is a genuine commitment to supporting people and helping create an inclusive, positive workplace culture.

Experience within the charity or wider not‑for‑profit sector would be welcomed, although candidates from other sectors with relevant HR advisory experience are also encouraged to apply.

For HR professionals looking for a varied role with flexibility, autonomy, and the opportunity to make a meaningful difference within a purpose‑driven organisation, this is an excellent opportunity.

To apply, please submit your up‑to‑date CV by 23:59 on 19 July 2026. A cover letter is not required at this stage. Candidates who are shortlisted will be invited to complete a short application form before progressing to interview. Please note, only successful applicants will be contacted with further information.
