HR Advisor – HCPC
Are you ready to build your HR career in a role where your work truly matters? We are hiring at the HCPC, a purpose-driven regulator protecting the public, and we are seeking a passionate HR Advisor to play a key role in delivering high-quality HR support across the organisation.
About the Role
At the HCPC, every role contributes to safeguarding the public and upholding standards in health and care. As an HR Advisor, you'll be at the heart of our people function, supporting managers and employees with practical, timely advice and ensuring core HR processes run smoothly.
You'll work closely with the HR Business Partner and wider team, gaining exposure across the full employee lifecycle—from recruitment and onboarding through to employee relations, payroll, and people data. This is an excellent opportunity for an HR professional looking to deepen their generalist experience in a collaborative and supportive environment.
Key Responsibilities
- Acting as the first point of contact for HR queries, providing clear and practical advice to both managers and employees
- Supporting end-to-end recruitment activities, including onboarding and employer branding initiatives
- Advising on employee relations matters, such as probation, capability, and disciplinary cases (with guidance from the HR Business Partner)
- Supporting the monthly payroll process and maintaining accurate HR data and records
- Producing workforce reports and insights, identifying trends and opportunities for improvement
- Keeping HR policies and procedures up-to-date and accessible
- Supporting engagement activities, exit interviews, and absence management processes
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
