The Norwich Diocesan Board of Finance (NDBF) has operated with outsourced HR management over previous years but now wishes to enhance the existing in-house administration and advice service with in-house strategic oversight of all matters related to the management of employees and clergy office holders.

We are looking for someone with great values, communication skills and drive to support the development of the culture, systems and policies that will enable the people in our organisation to thrive.  This will be founded on sound HR advice related to staff and clergy, and a professional, efficient service that equips and empowers managers to be confident and competent practitioners.

Reporting to the Chief Executive, you will have the capacity to interpret and explain employment law and regulations, including those areas specific to the Church of England.  In addition, you will have responsibility for creating and delivering projects and strategic work related to the wellbeing and development of our fantastic people.

This will be a high-level comprehensive, efficient and professional HR service to managers, staff and clergy in the Diocese.  The HR Manager will take ownership of the day to day running of the HR function for the organisations and equip and empower managers to be confident and competent practitioners.

Starting salary – FTE £40,400 (£20,200 – £24,240 dependent on hours of work as negotiated)

Hours of work – 17.5 – 21 hours per week (to be negotiated)
