Band 6 Senior People Advisor

We're looking for an experienced HR professional who enjoys pace, variety and problem-solving. As Senior People Advisor, you will have a key role in supporting UHB+ colleagues with a broad range of employee relations and workforce matters. Working closely with the UHB+ leadership team, you will help navigate casework confidently, apply people policies fairly and strengthen their approach to attraction, engagement and retention of Bank colleagues.

The role will be closely aligned to UHB+, while remaining part of the wider People Directorate HR service. This means you will bring your expertise to the priorities of the Bank, including good governance, colleague experience and stronger integration of Bank colleagues within the wider UHB family., You'll be at the heart of a busy operational service, leading a diverse employee relations caseload and advising on workforce policies and procedures. Your work will support timely, fair and practical outcomes on issues that affect staffing, service delivery and colleague experience across the Trust.

We're looking for a HR professional who can balance compassion with objectivity, challenge constructively and provide pragmatic solutions that work for both colleagues and the organisation. The pace can be demanding. But the rewards are equally significant.

You'll see the value of your work quickly. Whether that's helping resolve a longstanding issue, supporting a colleague through a difficult situation, improving a process or enabling services to maintain safe staffing levels, your contribution will be visible and valued. You'll be supported by an experienced People leadership team and specialist colleagues who understand the realities of delivering HR in a complex NHS environment.

You'll have opportunities to broaden your experience, develop professionally and progress your career. We offer flexible and hybrid working arrangements which recognise the importance of both work-life balance and maintaining visible, meaningful relationships across the service.

If you enjoy working at pace, can navigate complexity with confidence and want to support one of UHB's most important workforce services, we'd love to hear from you.

Supporting over 3,000 colleagues working across one of the largest NHS staff Banks, this is an opportunity to join the wider People Directorate HR team, with an immediate focus on UHB+ and the colleagues who help keep services running and patients cared for across UHB. The Bank is far more than a temporary workforce service. It provides essential workforce flexibility, helping services respond to staffing shortages, unexpected absences and periods of increased demand across our hospitals. Every day, Bank colleagues support the delivery of safe, high-quality patient care across all services., University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust strives to have an inclusive culture where everyone feels like they belong, can thrive, knows that they add value and feels valued.

As such we want to attract and recruit talented individuals from all backgrounds, and for each of you to feel supported for the diversity you bring, to achieve your full potential. For those staff with a disability, including physical disability, long term health condition, mental health or neurodiverse condition, this also means being committed to making reasonable adjustments needed for you to carry out your role.
