Working Chance are the UK's only employment charity solely for women with convictions. We help women with convictions to develop the confidence, skills and self-belief they need to overcome any barriers to their employment, find jobs and build careers.
We work with organisations of all sizes across all sectors to find opportunities for women that align with their skills and aspirations. Since 2009, Working Chance has supported thousands of women into employment and many more on their journeys towards financial independence. To women with convictions, a job is more than an income - it means a future where she and her family can flourish.
We ow have an exciting opportunity for a CIPD-qualified HR generalist who can turn their hand to anything in a broad HR role, supporting our small, dynamic London-based charity.
We’re looking for someone who is self-aware and non-judgemental, with strong emotional intelligence and great people skills. You’ll share our passion for Working Chance’s mission – to transform the employment landscape for women with convictions and to support these women to find roles they can thrive in. On the practical side, you’ll have consolidated experience in an HR generalist role combined with solid knowledge of UK employment legislation and its application. Experience in advising line managers is essential, as is a strong understanding of equality, diversity and inclusion issues so that you make sure that our commitment to EDI is a meaningful ongoing commitment and not a tick box exercise.
We’re a very friendly team, driven and determined to be the best charity we can in order to make the most impact for the women we serve. The role will work closely with the CEO and senior leadership team to ensure we provide our team with high quality HR support and guidance.
Preferred hours for this role are 21 hours a week, but Working Chance is open to discussions with candidates who are available for fewer hours (or variable hours each week) with 14 hours per week as a minimum.
