An opportunity has arisen for an innovative and passionate HR professional to join our workforce directorate in the role of HR Advisor.

This role provides a fantastic opportunity to support our managers' requirements to deliver perfect care. The postholder will be responsible for providing effective, proactive HR support and advice related to the operational management of services within the division and also support across the wider HR function as required.

In order to fulfil this ambitious role you will be CIPD qualified (or working towards) with the understanding of delivering a varied HR portfolio, in particular employee relations activity, ideally in a unionised environment, preferably in the NHS. A self-starter, with a keen values-driven commitment to the NHS, you will need to demonstrate an ability to work flexibly and deliver outcomes that meet the needs of the business. Confident in your ability to deal with people in all situations and negotiate and influence to reach agreement whist demonstrating empathy, you'll also need to be comfortable working in a timely manner and meeting deadlines when managing employee relations workload.

Mersey Care is one of the largest trusts providing physical health and mental health services in the North West, serving more than 1.4 million people across our region and are also commissioned for services that cover the North West, North Wales and the Midlands.

We offer specialist inpatient and community services that support physical and mental health and specialist inpatient mental health, learning disability, addiction and brain injury services. Mersey Care is one of only three trusts in the UK that offer high secure mental health facilities.

At the heart of all we do is our commitment to 'perfect care' - care that is safe, effective, positively experienced, timely, equitable and efficient. We support our staff to do the best job they can and work alongside service users, their families, and carers to design and develop future services together. We're currently delivering a programme of organisational and service transformation to significantly improve the quality of the services we provide and safely reduce cost as we do so.
