Job Description

We're on a mission to help change lives and build healthy, resilient communities in Somerset.

We do this by supporting and championing voluntary and community organisations and providing a range of services, training, and advice. We also believe that everyone should have the opportunity to thrive and so we work with local partners to provide volunteering opportunities for all.

To help us do this, we're looking for a confident and proactive HR Officer to join our team on a permanent basis. This key role will support the organisation by providing clear, practical HR advice and ensuring our processes run smoothly and efficiently.

Working alongside our Operations Manager, you'll be the go-to person for all things HR, offering guidance to managers, supporting the delivery of team events, maintaining accurate staff records, and ensuring our policies and systems support a happy, productive workplace.

We're looking for someone with strong knowledge of HR practices and UK employment legislation, excellent communication and IT skills, CIPD membership (ideally qualified or working towards it), and demonstrable generalist HR experience covering the key responsibilities of the role.

In return we offer remote and flexible working options, a free Employee Assistance Programme, and up to 7.5 hours of volunteering leave per year.
