Job Tenure:

Annual/Pro rata salary:

£31,537 – £33,143 (pro rata based on 0.6 FTE)

Application End Date:

Summary of Role:

We’re looking for a new colleague to join our People Team and work alongside our managers to support what matters most here: our colleagues.

We’re a small, values-led team of four, and our work goes far beyond processes or policies. We help shape a positive, trauma-informed culture where colleagues feel safe, supported and able to do their best work for the young people 1625ip support. We lead change with compassion, creativity and curiosity, and we’re always learning, reflecting and improving together.

If you have solid employment law knowledge, you care about people, believe in psychologically informed practice, and enjoy partnering with managers to make a real difference, you’ll fit right in.

Please find full details of how to apply via our website in the advert below. The deadline for application submissions is 23:59, Sunday 14 December 2025.

We aim to build a more diverse workforce that reflects the young people we support, including those from migrant, refugee and asylum-seeking communities. We therefore warmly encourage applications from individuals who are currently under-represented at 1625ip, including people from ethnic minority backgrounds, Muslim and male candidates, and anyone with relevant lived experience.

If you need an adjustment to be made to any part of the recruitment process, please let us know as soon as possible.

Who are we?
We are a leading youth homelessness charity based in the Southwest, working with over 1,500 young people. At 1625ip we are driven by Social Justice and Passion: we strive to do something that matters and take pride in seeing the results of our work in social outcomes and improving young people’s lives.

How we work
At 1625ip our work is rooted in Psychologically Informed Environments (PIE) and Trauma-Informed Practice (TIP). Our Psychologically Informed Framework shapes how we build relationships, use our spaces, and support young people. This means we prioritise safety, trust, collaboration, and understanding the impact of trauma in every interaction. You don’t need prior experience in PIE or TIP to apply – we’ll support you to learn and develop these approaches in the role.

What you will be doing:
• With a good grasp of employment law and analytical thinking, you will use that knowledge to provide creative and compassionate solutions in employee relations matters, supporting and guiding our full management team on all their people matters, across the full employment cycle (e.g., ill health, T&Cs, performance, flexible working etc).
• Being super organised and proactive, you will respond well to pressure and change. So, when, for example, you have set aside half a day for reporting, but a manager needs your support with an unexpected situation, you will adjust your plans, prioritise accordingly, and offer calm, steady guidance.
• Being people-focused – by which we mean thinking about people and relationships in all that you do – you will underpin your work with the question “Is this going to make things better?” For example, when revising a policy or process, you will consider how to ensure the changes feel equitable, inclusive and supportive of a psychologically safe working environment.
• By striving to make a positive difference to the working lives of others, you will conduct your work with professionalism, empathy and humour. So, for example, when advising a manager who is supporting someone in their team with ill health or difficult life experiences, you will do so without judgement and with curiosity and care.
• By communicating well and influencing others through coaching, you will build strong, trusting relationships. So, for example, when working with a manager who is inexperienced in managing others, you will guide them towards finding their own solutions, supporting them to grow in confidence.
• Being committed to your work, you will take accountability and problem-solve creatively. So, for example, when advising on a complex scenario, you will think reflectively and draw on less obvious solutions that support both good decision-making and a trauma-informed approach.
You will be in our small, but mighty, People team and your line manager will be our People Director.
Our Competency Development Framework sits at the heart of how we work at 1625ip. It links our values with the behaviours we expect to see in everyday practice and supports colleagues to learn, reflect and develop. It also means our recruitment is grounded in behaviours, not just experience, so applications, interviews and job profiles all focus on how we work, not only what we do.
If you have transferrable skills and you are interested in this role, but you are worried about the application process, please get in touch with us.
