At Uswitch, our goal is to be the UK's favourite way to choose and manage home life essentials - from broadband and mobiles to energy and insurance. As we continue to grow and expand our services, we are looking for talented individuals who share our passion for making a positive impact on people's lives. If you want to be part of a team that is transforming the way consumers navigate their household services, we would love to hear from you.

About the Role:

The People team at RVU is tasked with helping our employees to thrive. We aim to ensure each employee fulfils their personal and professional goals while contributing to the ongoing success of the wider business. The People team is closely aligned with the wider business and expected to play an integral part in the delivery of our company objectives.

As we continue to place an ever greater focus on high performance and employee development,

we're looking for someone with excellent generalist HR skills to partner with key stakeholders and manage our people processes.

The position will report into our Head of HR and will have a primary focus on employee relations, however as a true generalist you will need to be versatile and happy assisting with all elements of HR as needed.

• Advise, educate and coach managers on a range of employee relations issues
• Act as the HR point of contact for our team, supporting with day-to-day operational queries
• Manage and consult on all other ER policies and procedures, including disciplinary and grievance, absence and capability measures
• Develop and maintain key stakeholder relationships throughout the business to partner teams from a HR perspective
• Make connections between people and the business strategy to create success and allow our culture to thrive

In no particular order, you'll have had experience:

• Dealing with a range of ER issues in a fast moving business. Experience working in a Tech / Digital business would be beneficial but not essential.
• Communicating with confidence across diverse teams, from recent graduates to senior business leaders.
• Delivering proactive business partnering, supporting people managers in creating a high-performance culture; you'll need to be credible and confident with strong influencing skills
• Dealing with change and a desire to be part of a rapidly evolving environment, where priorities and focus pivot frequently. We're a small team with a demanding stakeholder base so we get involved wherever we are needed, from company events to communication strategies.
• Supporting the development of more junior members of the HR team
• CIPD qualified is essential
• Planning, leading and supporting in both local and global operational initiatives and strategic projects

At RVU, we are dedicated to developing valuable, inclusive, and user friendly products and services that deliver positive outcomes for all of our customers. To achieve this it's essential that our teams reflect the diverse range of people in our community. We believe in being the change we wish to see in the world, by embracing our differences and holding ourselves accountable to being open and inclusive teammates and wider community members.

We want to give you a great work environment, support your growth both personally and professionally, and provide benefits that make your time at RVU even more enjoyable. Here are some of the benefits you can look forward to:

• 10% discretionary yearly bonus and yearly pay reviews (based on RVU and personal performance)
• A hybrid working approach with 2 in-office days per week and up to 22 working days per year to "work from anywhere"
• Employer matching pension contributions up to 7.5%
• A one-off £300 "Work from Home" budget to help contribute towards a great work environment at home
• Excellent maternity, paternity, shared parental and adoption leave policy, for those key moments in your life
• 25 days holiday (increasing to 30 days) + 2 days "My Time" per year
• Private medical cover, critical illness cover, dental plans and employee assistance programme
• Free gym access
• Employee discounts programme
• A healthy learning and training budget to support your development

As a tech company who strives to get better every day, we use Metaview during the interview processes for note taking purposes. This records and transcribes interviews so the interviewer can fully focus on your conversation, rather than writing. This has no bearing on the assessment of you as a candidate and you can opt out at any time. Just let us know.
