Hr Advisor

The Protective Care Group was established to provide bespoke, tailor-made support for young people with severe and complex needs, particularly those exhibiting highly challenging behaviour. We specialise in providing a level of support that local authorities are often unable to; support that makes a real difference to somebody’s quality of life and future prospects.  It means everything to us.

We care deeply about those in our care and the quality of the services we provide, but we’re also very ambitious and growing quickly across the UK.  We’ll double our headcount in the next 12 months, then again, the year after, so we can care for more young people.

We’ve grown quickly but, through sensible investment, we already have HR, Welfare, L&D and Recruitment teams in place, but we’ve still got so much we want to achieve.  Our growth means you’ll have lots of opportunity to grow your career with us. To support our growth, now’s the time for an engaging, experienced, and proactive HR Advisor to join the team.

Our HR Advisor will:

• Coach, advise, and support our Regional and Team Managers on core people topics including development, performance, engagement, absence management, change facilitation and leadership. 
• Manage a caseload of complex ER cases, providing guidance and practical support to our Managers, supporting them through a range of HR interventions and processes.
• Facilitate and support with mediation, disciplinary and grievance proceedings in a kind, considerate but effective way.
• Encourage and ensure consistent and appropriate application of HR policies and practices.

Requirements

We’re a collaborative, busy bunch and we have lots of fun, but we get the job done.  The most important thing we’re looking for is someone who grasps ‘why’ we do what we do and who wants to make a real difference to others’ lives. 

You’ll have experience in a HR Advisor role and be CIPD qualified, or equivalent by experience.  We employ an entrepreneurial style over corporate red-tape (we work hard to avoid that) so you’ll be able work at pace, communicate with clarity, think creatively, and think ahead.  As we grow, things will change, so be ready to roll your sleeves up and get involved with what needs to be done.
