LHH is delighted to be supporting our client, a well-established charitable organisation providing specialist support services across Scotland, as they recruit a HR/People Advisor to join a forward‑thinking People & Culture team at an exciting time of organisational change and growth.

This role sits within a People Operations function delivering a high‑quality, customer‑focused HR service across a diverse workforce. You will provide expert advice and consultancy to managers and colleagues across the full employee and volunteer lifecycle, including recruitment, employee relations, performance management, learning and development, and workforce planning.

The successful candidate will be responsible for delivering people projects and initiatives, supporting the organisation through change and helping to embed positive and sustainable people practices. You will be comfortable working in a changing environment and have experience of supporting and embedding organisational change.

You will lead on complex casework, ensuring legal compliance and effective risk management, while coaching managers to build capability and confidence. Working closely with colleagues across People & Culture, you will also support process improvements, policy development, systems and data utilisation, and wider strategic projects.

We are looking for a strong HR generalist with experience at a similar level, a solid understanding of HR best practice, and the ability to operate both strategically and operationally. You will be a confident communicator, comfortable influencing stakeholders, and motivated by delivering continuous improvement in people practice.

Experience in a complex or not‑for‑profit environment would be beneficial.
