People Advisor - Submarines

Full Time

Thurso, Scotland

This is a unique and exciting time to join the team at Rolls – Royce Vulcan. The People Advisor will bring connections to wider business enterprise partners, exciting opportunities to be a key part of setting up new processes for the site and you will be working with an established and trusted team. 

HR presence on site is key to achieving the opportunities we strive for as a successful team. Development of our people is an increasing need to meet customer demands as well as future talent pipelines. Also, ensuring all of our employees have a local support for daily queries means we can all be at our best every day.

Why Rolls-Royce?

Rolls-Royce is one of the most enduring and iconic brands in the world and has been at the forefront of innovation for over a century. We design, build and service systems that provide critical power to customers where safety and reliability are paramount. We are proud to be a force for progress, powering, protecting and connecting people everywhere. We want to ensure that the excellence and ingenuity that has shaped our history continues into our future and we need people like you to come and join us on this journey.

This role will be largely based at the Rolls Royce site in Thurso, Caithness which offers a unique coastal working base. You will be a fully integrated member of the HR function but have unique autonomy (due to the remoteness of the site) with support and guidance given from the team in Raynesway, Derbyshire. 

We’ll provide an environment of caring and belonging where you can be yourself. An inclusive, innovative culture that invests in you, gives you access to an incredible breadth and depth of opportunities where you can grow your career and make a difference.

Delivering sustained performance will give opportunity to grow within the role and grades. Our additional benefits are exceptional and we offer generous overtime rates and unparalleled leave.

What we offer:

We offer excellent development opportunities, a competitive salary, and exceptional benefits. These include bonus, employee support assistance and employee discounts.

Your needs are as unique as you are. Hybrid working is a way in which our people can balance their time between the office, home, or another remote location.  It’s a locally managed and flexed informal discretionary arrangement.  As a minimum we’re all expected to attend the workplace for collaboration and other specific reasons, on average three days per week.

What you will be doing:

This role will be critical as we move forward with exciting opportunities and development being planned. HR in all business areas play a key part of uniting teams, ensuring integrity and supporting all colleagues to be at their best to deliver. HR team members are valued within this business and you will be empowered to have a voice in most settings.

With this attractive HR opportunity you will get a chance to:

• Provide effective HR support to business managers ensuring business needs are met in line with Company HR policies and processes.
• Support local deployment of Company HR processes such as Absence Management, Performance Management, Reward Review, Role grading, Salary policy and Career Development Framework activities.
• Escalation management of GBS cases (HR Shared Service).
• Work with our union team to ensure understanding of site/location concerns which impact our people.
• Maintaining relationships with the HR team in Derby

Who we’re looking for:

At Rolls-Royce we put safety first, do the right thing, keep it simple and make a difference. These principles form the behaviours that guide us and are an essential component of our assessment process. They are the fundamental qualities that we seek for all roles.

To be successful in this role you will need to:

• Work confidentially with a high level of integrity around data access 
• Take full accountability for delivery of actions requested locally and from the wider HR Team
• Have the ability to work unaided daily but also maintain relationships with the HR team and all stakeholders 
• Have a level of understanding / accreditation / experience in the HR field
• Have an ability to manage bias / emotions in difficult situations 

We are an equal opportunities employer. We’re committed to developing a diverse workforce and an inclusive working environment. We believe that people from different backgrounds and cultures give us different perspectives which are crucial to innovation and problem solving.

We believe the more diverse perspectives we have, the more successful we’ll be. By building a culture of caring and belonging, we give everyone who works here the opportunity to realise their full potential.
