Description:

At YCC, people are at the heart of everything we do. You will support our members in their roles and ensure that they have the best possible experience during their time at YCC. The successful candidate will have the responsibility and accountability for the full employee life cycle and will be involved in all areas of the Human Resources function.

Our HR team is busy and no two days are the same. As such, you will need to be able to work well under pressure and be able to manage a busy workload, ensuring you deliver the best possible service to colleagues while doing so. Given the nature of the role, being able to deal with sensitive matters emphatically and confidentially is of paramount importance.

At YCC we have two main values: to create a positive social impact and to boost student employability. We seek individuals who share our vision and can positively and enthusiastically contribute to the continuous improvement of YCC. This role is crucial in enabling and empowering our workforce to buy in and achieve this vision .

Perhaps you have had a social secretary role in society and loved the chance to work with a diverse group of people or have experience in coaching or a teaching role. Regardless of your background, you will be an effective relationship builder and have excellent interpersonal skills.

There is no typical day in the life of an HR Officer, but you may find yourself; leading during our busy recruitment period; holding interviews and ensuring that we get the best possible members; delivering our training programme to our project teams and/or dealing with employee relations cases as they arise. If you enjoy getting stuck in and have a varied workload, then this is the role for you.
