Job Introduction

HR Advisor - 6 month FTC

What does it take to become a leading health and social care organisation in the UK?

 It takes people who can turn lives around every day - providing encouragement, delivering innovative services and generally improving life for individuals with a learning disability or those affected by drug and alcohol misuse or mental health problems. But it's not just our front-line teams that make a difference. So do the dedicated professionals who work behind the scenes to support the vital work we do.

Of course to operate at this level we need to maintain a high performing and engaged workforce. And that is where you come in.
