HR Officer

This HR Officer role with Cardiff Community Housing Association, based in Castle Community, sits within the People team during a period of change and development. The position is varied, combining day-to-day HR support with work on HR systems, Excel and people data. A key initial focus will be supporting the implementation of Cezanne HR, alongside providing practical HR support across the organisation. Responsibilities include advising managers and employees, supporting lower-risk employee relations matters such as absence management, responding to queries on annual leave and policies, maintaining accurate HR data and producing simple reports. Salary is £32,000 to £34,500 per annum, with hybrid working.

Yolk Recruitment is partnering with Cardiff Community Housing Association (CCHA) to recruit an experienced HR Officer to join their People team during a busy period of change and development.

This is a varied role suited to someone who enjoys the day-to-day side of HR but is equally comfortable working with HR systems, Excel and people data. A key initial focus will be supporting the implementation of Cezanne HR, alongside providing practical HR support across the organisation.

What you'll be doing

• Supporting the implementation, set-up and ongoing use of the new Cezanne HR system
• Providing day-to-day HR advice and support to managers and employees
• Supporting lower-risk employee relations matters, including absence management
• Responding to queries around annual leave, policies and general HR processes
• Maintaining accurate HR data and producing simple reports
• Using Excel to analyse information, identify trends and provide useful people data
• Supporting wider People projects and improvement work
• Working closely with the senior HR lead, with exposure to broader strategic projects

What we're looking for

You'll already have experience working within a HR Officer, HR Adviser or similar generalist HR role, with good knowledge of HR systems and confidence working with data.

You'll ideally bring:

• Previous experience using HR information systems. Cezanne experience would be a real advantage, but isn't essential
• Strong Excel skills, including working with spreadsheets, filters and data
• Confidence interpreting figures, trends and ratios
• Experience supporting employee relations cases
• A practical, organised approach and the ability to work independently
• CIPD Level 5 or an HR-related degree would be desirable, although relevant HR experience is equally valued

Benefits

Although initially offered as a six-month FTC, there is a potential for the role to become permanent, subject to budget approval and the organisation's internal recruitment process.

Benefits:

• 26 days annual leave plus bank holiday
• Flexible, hybrid working
• Access to Health Plan and Income Protection Plan
• Cycle to Work Scheme
• Defined Contribution pension with CCHA contributing a minimum of 5%, alongside a minimum 4% employee contribution
• Rewards & discounts - Access to CCHA Discounts and Telus Perks, offering savings across thousands of retailers and brands, including food, holidays, travel, entertainment and personal care
