HR Consultant (Relationship Team) - fixed term until 13/07/2027
Waverley Court

Salary: £34,452 - £40,501 (pro-rata for part-time)
Hours: 36 per week

We have the exciting opportunity within our HR team for two experienced HR consultants to join us on a fixed term basis for 12 months to support our colleagues across the City of Edinburgh Council.

Working in partnership with the Leads and Senior HR consultants within the HR Relationship team, you'll work with your aligned services on a range of change programmes, HR projects and campaigns, helping them to deliver and maintain best practice HR standards and drive forward their workforce plans.

Demonstrating integrity, flexibility and respect in all you do, you'll facilitate the exit interview process for our leavers, along with supporting colleagues seeking redeployment.

We have 1.7FTE (62 hours) available and are happy to discuss flexible working arrangements. Please state in your application the hours you would be interested in.

We are committed to a diverse and inclusive workforce where everyone feels valued and able to be their best. We particularly encourage applications from women for senior roles, as well as people from minority ethnic backgrounds, people with disabilities or neurodivergent people, care experienced people, carers and LGBT+ people across all levels of the organisation, all of whom are currently underrepresented. All applicants will be considered fairly based on skills and experience. Disabled and care-experienced applicants who meet the minimum job criteria will be guaranteed an interview.

As part of our goal to improve organisational culture and create a great place to work together for the people of Edinburgh, we want to make sure we're recruiting the best people. We're interested not only in your skills and experience but also in your approach to work. Therefore, part of our interview process will be an assessment of how you would bring Our Behaviours of Respect, Integrity and Flexibility into your ways of working.

You can find out more on Our Behaviours web page Our Behaviours - The City of Edinburgh Council

Our salary range typically reflects the initial starting salary and annually increases until it reaches the top of the range.

Happy to talk flexible working.
