Sands exists to save babies’ lives and ensure that anyone affected by pregnancy loss or baby loss receives the support and care they need.
We are looking to recruit somebody who wants to progress their career in Human Resources, and enhance their skills in an extremely interesting and supportive environment. This is a key role which will help us to promote Sands’ vision; a world where fewer babies die and when a baby dies those affected receive the best care and support for as long as they need.
In this vital role you will undertake a wide range of tasks including co-ordinating the start-to-finish employee recruitment process, ensuring appropriate application of HR policies and procedures, drafting correspondence to staff, maintaining the HR database and responding to a wide range of enquiries from line managers, staff and external stakeholders.
Experience of co-ordinating recruitment processes, using an HR information system and being able to draft a wide range of written communication is essential.
Additionally, you will be able to build effective working relationships with staff and managers across the organisation.
With a good knowledge and understanding of employment law and HR best practice, you will be able to manage several work streams simultaneously and meet deadlines under pressure. Excellent organisational and time-management skills are therefore essential for this role. You will also need to be to highly numerate and demonstrate good problem-solving ability.
A good knowledge of current data protection and GDPR requirements is required, as is the ability to deal with confidential and sensitive personal data with discretion.
