Leeds Mind promotes positive mental health and wellbeing, and provides help and support to anyone who needs it in and around Leeds. We have faith and optimism in our clients and so the services we deliver are built around their needs. We support the people of Leeds to discover their own resources to ‘recover’ from periods of poor mental health, and to live life independently with their mental health condition.
Our values of Being Open, Supportive, Brave, Connected, and Resourceful are pivotal to the work we do.
The People & Culture team supports the whole organisation to create a positive, inclusive and mentally healthy workplace. We work alongside managers and colleagues to make sure people processes are clear, fair and supportive, helping teams to do their best work and provide the best possible support for people who use Leeds Mind services.
We are looking for a People & Culture Advisor to join our People & Culture team. This is a key advisory role, providing practical, values-led advice and support to managers and colleagues across Leeds Mind. You will support employee relations matters, including sickness absence, conduct, capability, grievance, probation, flexible working, wellbeing-related casework and reasonable adjustments.
You will help managers resolve issues at the earliest appropriate stage, apply policies fairly and consistently, and make decisions that support positive outcomes for individuals, teams and the wider organisation. Your work will play an important part in enabling colleagues to provide the best possible support for people who use our services, and in contributing to our ambition of making Leeds a mentally healthy city. This role would suit someone who has strong HR knowledge, confidence advising managers, and a compassionate, practical and solutions-focused approach.
