The Role
As a People Advisor, you’ll play a key role in shaping a great employee experience for MVFers at different stages of the employee lifecycle. Armed with strong employment relations experience, business acumen, and interpersonal skills, you will be a trusted advisor to your client groups.
Responsibilities
Employee Relations
- Advise and coach line managers on probation, performance management, sickness, redundancy, disciplinary, and grievance processes, managing the processes independently end to end.
- Manage more complex ER cases with the support of the People Partner.
- Provide necessary training and feedback to managers on people processes.
- Support employees through family-friendly processes (e.g. maternity, paternity etc), and help identify opportunities to enhance and evolve these policies and processes over time.
- Offer policy advice to managers and employees.
- Assist in reviewing and updating people policies to ensure ongoing legal compliance and best practice.
People Advisory
- Act as a trusted advisor to designated client groups within MVF, drawing on support and guidance from your People Partner when needed.
- Work closely with your People Partner to ensure joined-up, consistent support for shared client groups, and support them on strategic and wider organisational design and development projects.
- Work closely with key stakeholders to maintain excellent operational rhythms.
- Support the delivery of DE&I and wellbeing initiatives across client groups.
- Liaise with and provide people support to colleagues in our US and EMEA locations.
Employee Lifecycle
- Support onboarding and induction for new starters, ensuring a smooth and positive first experience.
- Manage the offboarding process, including exit interviews and leaver administration.
Learning and Development
- Own the planning and scheduling of the annual People training calendar, balancing internal delivery with external provision.
- Manage Docebo (our E-learning platform), to ensure all employees are compliant with mandatory training. This will include updating existing e-learning modules and working with the People Partners to develop new modules where required.
- Help source, brief, and manage relationships with external L&D providers and facilitators.
- Design and deliver own training sessions on core People topics (e.g. manager essentials, policy updates, employment law awareness) to build internal capability.
- Assist in the coordination and delivery of internal training events run by others across MVF.
- Contribute to assessment processes for internal developmental programmes.
- Gather and act on feedback to continuously improve the training calendar’s relevance and impact.

- Experience working with or supporting US and/or EMEA teams, ideally including exposure to Employer of Record (EOR) arrangements.
