We also have a specialised function – Barratt Partnerships.
 
While the work varies from team to team, our key requirements don’t: you must be well organised, extremely helpful and resourceful, and able to use your initiative. You’ll understand that what you do is important, and impacts on your team, the department, and the wider business.
 
Reporting to the HR Shared Service Manager, you will provide first line support for day-to-day HR queries and advise in line with the company policies and procedures.

  • Deliver training sessions for managers and employees on areas of the employee life cycle.
  • Maintain accurate and up-to-date records using HR systems to record data and ensure data integrity and confidentiality.
  • Ensure that all employee files are compliant with GDPR guidelines.
  • Send out any company-wide communications to the business as required.
  • Signpost Line Managers to ensure they have the relevant tools and supporting documentation to support the employee lifecycle.
  • Promote the Group support offering available to individuals and signpost to these services.
  • Work with the payroll team to ensure all necessary documentation is compiled ahead of the monthly/weekly payroll run.
  • The role is subject to change based on the evolution of the HR Shared Service Centre and the supporting technology.

To be successful in the role, we are looking for:
  •  Agile working: Flexible, able to prioritise, manage multiple enquiries and time effectively.
  •  Analytical: Gather information, analyse data, identify patterns and causes of issues, draw conclusions, and make recommendations to support Process or Policy changes.
  • Communication: Articulate, clear and concise, able to communicate progress.
  • Compliance & risk management: Ensure ethical conduct and compliance with policy, process and legislation, maintain accurate records and manage risk.
  • Continuous learning: Stays up to date on the latest employment law and regulations to provide valuable insights and recommendations.
  • Employee relations: Able to manage employee relations and provide guidance on issues such as Absence Management and Conduct concerns.
  • Interpersonal skills: Approachable and empathetic, able to handle difficult situations with tact and diplomacy.
  • Problem-solving: Creates timely and well- informed solutions, to resolve employee enquiries.
