About the vacancy: People Advisor Opportunities - Two Exciting Roles Available! Ready to take the next step in your HR career? We're looking for two People Advisors to join our fantastic People Team at Hedyn, supporting our colleagues and leaders to create great workplace experiences while helping drive organisational success.

• Homes & Communities People Advisor - partnering with our Homes & Communities directorate, providing practical, people-focused HR support across a diverse range of services.
• Resources People Advisor - primarily supporting our Resources directorate and working closely with our Recruitment Specialist, offering a unique blend of HR and recruitment responsibilities.

It's a brilliant opportunity for someone who enjoys employee relations and people advisory work but also wants to be involved in attracting and hiring great talent. In both roles, you'll act as a trusted advisor to managers and colleagues, providing expert guidance on employee relations matters including absence, performance, disciplinary and grievance cases. You'll also support organisational change projects, including restructures, team reshaping initiatives and change programmes, helping managers navigate change with confidence and empathy.

You'll use workforce data and insights to identify trends, support wellbeing and engagement initiatives, contribute to HR projects and policy development, and work collaboratively across the People Team to deliver an outstanding colleague experience.

If you're a proactive, relationship-focused HR professional who loves solving problems, building trusted partnerships and making a real impact, we'd love to hear from you. Specifically, in the role you will:

• Co-ordinate and administer relevant meetings for the Group, including scheduling, agenda setting, pack preparation, transcribing of minutes and follow up actions to deadline.
• Maintain accurate records of decisions, actions and declarations of interest.
• Create standard governance reports, working with stakeholders to obtain relevant information.
• Support delivery of the Group's approach to Board & Committee development, including annual effectiveness and skills reviews, recruitment, succession planning, induction and learning & development.
• Co-ordinate and implement Group events, including workshops, training sessions, strategic planning days and general meetings.
• Co-ordinate and undertake the use of the Group approach to signing and sealing, ensuring compliance with governing documents, regulatory and legislative requirements.
• Support the creation, development, improvement and implementation of governance processes and procedures to create efficiencies eg Schedule 1, Gifts & Hospitality.
• Monitor and report on the submission of Group regulatory and legislative returns, updating relevant registers where required.
• Design and deliver internal training, guidance and digital content to embed governance best practice, supporting colleagues to understand and apply key principles and processes.
• Act as a point of contact for operational governance & compliance queries, providing suitable advice, assistance and guidance.
