Are you passionate about people, keen to grow your career in HR, and ready to make a real difference in our community? If so, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.

Novus Health is a trusted provider of NHS funded community services, supporting thousands of patients each year. From physiotherapy and dermatology, to hearing care and minor surgery, we deliver care that is accessible, compassionate, and rooted in our local community.

We are looking for a HR and Corporate Officer to join our People Team. This is a new role created due to the growth of our organisation, with the aim of helping us ensure our HR and governance processes stay clear and consistent, and our staff feel supported at work.

The successful candidate will work closely with our People and Culture Lead, line managers, and other colleagues across the wider company. You’ll help manage day to day HR operations, support staff wellbeing, coordinate recruitment, and provide administrative support to our Senior Leadership Team.

Key responsibilities of the role include:

  • Coordinating recruitment activity, onboarding, and pre\-employment checks.

  • Providing clear, supportive first line HR guidance to managers and employees.

  • Maintaining accurate staff records, issuing contracts, and supporting absence management.

  • Supporting staff wellbeing initiatives and acting as a People Champion.

  • Administering meetings for the Senior Leadership Team, collating board papers, and minuting key meetings.
The ideal candidate will be calm, organised, and confident working across teams. You’ll bring strong attention to detail, a warm and approachable manner, and the ability to handle sensitive information with discretion.

This role is perfect for someone with an interest in HR and experience working in HR, recruitment, or people administration. You don’t need to be formally HR qualified – for the right candidate, we are happy to support you through your Level 3 CIPD in People Practice.
