The University is refreshing its strategy and has set out an ambitious programme of change for the future, centred around financial stability, our academic offer, and our organisational agility.

Sheffield Hallam University has an ambitious and challenging people agenda and we are looking for a high-performing, future-focused Senior Advisors to join the Human Resources and Organisational Development Directorate as part of our Employee Relations team.

As well as being a dedicated and trusted expert in employee relations and the application of employment law and employment policies, you will help drive continuous improvement - using insight, data and fresh thinking, including digital tools to innovate our approach to supporting our staff community.

You will be part of a dedicated team that is trusted, proactive and evolving. You will have space for creativity and development - while still doing what you do best: advising mangers and staff through complex casework, policy development and change, enabling performance and driving a culture that values staff wellbeing and community.

Ideally you will have a strong generalist background with experience of working within a large complex unionised organisation.

You will be expected to develop effective working relationships across the wider team and Directorate, sharing best practice and knowledge, working together to promote a consistently high-quality service offer.

We offer a diverse range of benefits and opportunities to pursue a rewarding and fulfilling career in a supportive environment.

You will be contractually enrolled into the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) - one of the largest and most generous defined benefit pension schemes in the country.
