Recruiter Living Well Partnership
Location SO19 9GH, Southampton
Salary £21.5k – £23k
Posted 19 May 2020
Closing Date 16 Jun 2020

The way we provide GP services is changing every day – and you can be part of it. The Living Well Partnership brings together four well-established practices in Southampton, with seven sites, which have joined forces to create a super-partnership that can deliver exceptional clinical care. Our mission is simple: to enhance the health and improve the wellbeing of our 40,000 patients – and you will have a key role to play, as HR Administrator, in supporting our staff to do this.

Supporting a team of line managers and all 130+ employees, you’ll provide efficient HR administrative support across the Partnership. Alongside the HR & Payroll Manager, you will go the extra mile to ensure that every employee has an HR function that they can rely on; to advise, guide, and innovatively deliver a great employee experience. Getting the most out of our HR systems, processes and protocols, you will support the function to implement effective and creative ways for employees to access information and support. You’ll take ownership of the Partnership’s HR administration; managing your time effectively, identifying ways to streamline processes, and striving to provide the highest quality output in everything that you do.

You’ll have an evident passion for HR and an ambition to progress your career in this field. You’ll need a sharp eye for identifying patterns in data and behaviour, as well as process improvements, and areas for development. You’ll be able to demonstrate that you’re an analytical thinker, who is focussed and diligent, with the ability to see tasks through to completion of the highest standard. You’ll be confident in finding your way around IT systems, and given the tools, you will hit the ground running; extracting analytics reports, analysing employee data, and accurately applying payroll formulae.

Experience of working in a medical or GP setting is not a requirement; but you must have at least 1 years’ experience of working in a HR or Payroll team. You should also have, or be working towards, a Level 3 CIPD. In return, we’ll offer you the opportunity to be responsible for dedicated projects and outcomes, and there will be plenty of scope for personal and professional development.

You will enjoy membership of the coveted NHS pension scheme, as well as 25 days annual leave (pro rata), generous NHS employee discounts, regular social events, free parking and more.

*Please note: your application will not be considered without a covering letter, outlining your suitability for the role.
