About the Organisation

Warwickshire County Council is a top performing two tier authority with a reputation for innovation and efficiency. If you can match our ambition to drive Warwickshire County Council forward we would like to hear from you.

 

 

About the Team and the Role

Our team delivers a professional Workforce Relations advisory service to our customers across four Corporate Directorates and Warwickshire Schools. You will be responsible for providing an excellent standard of HR advice and case management support to customers using a tailored, solution focussed approach.

 

We advise on a wide range of employment relations issues, working with several different sets of terms and conditions and in partnership with colleagues across HR and OD.  You will build and maintain good working relationships with managers across the Council, working independently and applying your initiative to advise on cases. Strong analytical, problem solving, and organisation skills are required, as is resilience and the flexibility to work to unpredictable deadlines. 

 

Alongside a busy caseload you will contribute to the job evaluation process, as well as project and policy work based on Our People Strategy, and supporting work within the wider HROD service.

You will have the opportunity to develop your knowledge and experience within a wide range of interesting and varied cases while supporting the success of the rewarding and challenging services that are an essential provision to Warwickshire County Council customers.

Experience of working in the schools environment, or within a local government, NHS or other public sector context would be beneficial but is not essential.
