HR Advisor (Fixed term maternity cover to 30/07/27\)
--------------------------------------------------------

Job description
Leeds Beckett University is an inclusive, vibrant workplace with ambitious plans. Our mission is to be an excellent, accessible, and globally engaged university, contributing positively to a thriving northern economy. We know that tomorrow's challenges will not be addressed by today's thoughts, approaches and mindsets.

We are looking for a proactive, forward thinking employee relations professional (CIPD level 5 or above) to join our supportive HR team within a fast\-paced and stimulating environment. A strong team player with excellent communication skills, you thrive on finding solutions and making a difference. You must have ER case management experience and establish relationships and credibility quickly to enable you to deliver an expert, pragmatic approach to a variety of complex employee relations matters.

In your role you will be the day\-to\-day contact on employee relations matters for a range of academic schools and professional support areas, advising and coaching managers on best practice and enabling them to apply a risk\-based approach to their decision making.

You will work alongside a great team of HR Advisers and HRBPs, plus the wider HR team, and together strive for continuous review and improvement to ensure we deliver a quality service.

If you would like to discuss the role in more detail, please contact Stephanie Rafton at s.rafton@leedsbeckett.ac.uk.

Closing date: Wednesday 15th July 2026 (23:59\)

Working here means you’ll also have access to a wide range of benefits including our generous pension schemes, excellent holiday entitlements, flexible working, reduced study fees, subsidised fitness facilities and a lot more.

We welcome applications from all individuals and particularly from disabled, black and global majority candidates as members of these groups are currently under\-represented at this level of post. All appointments will be based on merit.

Leeds Beckett University is a Disability Confident Employer. Disabled candidates who demonstrate all essential criteria within the Person Specification will be invited to an interview.
