Employee Relations Specialist
Islington HR is reshaping its services. We’re realigning our service provision to put digital, learning and innovation at the heart of what we do. We’re creating 3 new functions – HR Customer Delivery, Organisational Development and Strategic HR Partnering. Our vision is to be a trusted professional partner, empowering our managers and people to thrive and deliver better services for Islington. By joining the team, you’ll play a vital role in enabling this, putting fairness and equality at the heart of everything we do – in our communities and our workplace.
We are creating a new Employee Relations team and have a part time permanent vacancy opportunity for someone to join our team for 2 days per week (14 hours per week).

You will build successful partnership working with Trade Union colleagues and promote a positive working environment. You will support casework on a wide range of Human Resources issues and lead on the implementation of change management programmes.
Our HR vision is to be a trusted professional partner, empowering our managers and people to thrive and deliver better services for Islington.
If you think you have the knowledge and skills to play a part in achieving our vision and if you’re ready to grab every opportunity with both hands, then we look forward to receiving your application.
