Oxfam GB Human Resources Executive

Human Resources Executive Circa £20,000 p.a. gross depending on skills and experience 11 month fixed term contract Oxford

With employees across the UK and around the world, our HR department has to be a highly professional and efficient operation. You’ll make sure it stays that way, while acting as the first point of contact for our staff and giving them the key HR advice they need.

The role Joining our busy Corporate Human Resources Team, you’ll provide essential support to the HR Advisor, accurately maintaining databases, providing first line advice to managers and employees, producing all employee documentation and managing all recruitment activities in your divisions. Just as importantly, you’ll prioritise employee and management queries, using your HR knowledge to deliver a high level of service – whether that means giving advice yourself or deciding to escalate the request to someone more senior.

What we’re looking for Whether you’ve already gained your HR qualification or are still studying, this is a great chance for you to build on your experience with a global organisation. Your strong communication and interpersonal skills mean you’ll be confident giving advice to our employees, working well with both your team and departments across the organisation. And because you know how crucial HR is to Oxfam as a whole, you’ll be proactive about sharing your knowledge. Naturally, you’ll understand the importance of confidentiality and have a working knowledge of Microsoft packages and HR systems. Organised and logical, you’ll have the planning skills to manage your workload flexibly, delivering tasks on time and to a high standard. And, of course, you’ll be committed to making a difference.

About Oxfam A simple, inescapable truth underlies everything we do at Oxfam. There’s enough wealth in this world to go around. It’s not unfortunate that people live in poverty. It’s unjustifiable. It’s not just their problem. It’s ours too. And with the right support, we can beat poverty and injustice. Thousands of people already commit their time and talents to our campaigning, humanitarian and long-term development projects. Now we’re looking for yours.
