If you have solid experience in employee relations and enjoy supporting managers through the everyday challenges of people management, this fixed-term role offers an opportunity to make a real impact.

At St Monica Trust, we’re looking for a confident and capable HR Advisor to join our established HR team and focus on casework. Whether it’s absence management, grievances, disciplinaries or performance issues, your calm, informed guidance will help our managers handle situations fairly and consistently.

You’ll be a trusted point of contact for HR advice, offering practical and empathetic support to managers across our care, housing and support services.
Lead on a range of employee relations casework, ensuring timely and fair outcomes
Support investigations and formal processes, including note-taking where needed
Advise on HR policies, procedures and employment law in a clear and accessible way
Help maintain an inclusive, values-led culture across the Trust

Aside from a competitive salary, you’ll also benefit from:

Flexible working arrangements (including reduced hours)
A chance to make a real difference in the lives of older people

A proven track record of experience in a generalist HR advisory role
A strong background in employee relations casework
Experience supporting and coaching managers at all levels
CIPD Level 3 (or above) or equivalent experience

You bring balanced judgment, empathy and confidence — and you enjoy helping others navigate the challenges of managing people. You understand the importance of getting things right, and know how much positive HR input matters in daily working life.

This role offers the chance to use your experience where it’s most needed, in a team that values integrity, trust and inclusion.
