HR Advisor
Job Description
Gloucestershire County Council are offering a 6-month opportunity for an experienced HR Advisor to lead a restructure project.

The successful candidate will be required to use their initiative and provide options, possibly scoped with other managers within the service areas.
For instance, the candidate will be creating all the new job profiles, carrying out the initial job evaluation and ensuring there are appropriate levels of management and career progression within the structure rather than advising on something a manager produces.
It would, therefore, be useful to have an understanding of the GLPC, Hay Evaluation or other job evaluation process work, although there are colleagues to support these evaluations.
The Hr Advisor Grade 9 Scale 31 will be leading or actively contributing to the consultation and engagement groups and one-to-one meetings.
They will also be coordinating the pools, slotting in and expression of interest process so it will require high-level organizational and administrative skills to keep track and ensure everyone is being dealt with fairly and appropriately.
This may get complicated where there is a mix of employees from different organizations within the same groups.
Job Requirements
The successful candidate must have experience of restructure projects and project management skills.
They must have an understanding of the GLPC, Hay Evaluation or other job evaluation process work.
They must have high-level organizational and administrative skills.
The candidate must have experience leading or actively contributing to consultation and engagement groups and one-to-one meetings.
The candidate must have excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
