And who are Your Housing Group?

If you live in the Northwest, you may have already heard of Your Housing Group and know us as a Housing Association, but really, there’s a lot more to YHG that make it a great place to work!

We are a partner to Homes England and one of the North’s sector-leading landlords, proud to play our role in tackling the UK's housing crisis by reinvesting in our 29K properties and building 1,000 new homes each year.

What will I be responsible for doing?

First and foremost, you will be responsible for building meaningful working partnerships with a range of teams, managers, and key stakeholders within your designated business area, working closely with them to build both organisational and people capability, and shape and implement effective people strategies and activities

Reporting directly to the People Operations Manager you will be part of a hugely collaborative multidiscipline team of HRBPs and L&D BPs supporting your business areas with all employee related matters and the implementation and delivery of a wide range of specific HR projects, programmes and initiatives aimed at reinforcing the business vision, values and behaviours of the Group.

One of the great things about this role is it’s incredibly varied, no two days are the same and there is a great deal of scope to work with stakeholders at all levels throughout the business and really help shape positive change.

And what would make me stand out from the crowd?

To be a successful as a HR Business Partner here at YHG, you will ideally have proven experience operating as a HRBP, not only supporting your business areas with strategic advice and guidance, but also working with them operationally, dealing with complex employee relations or policy issues.

This role is really suited to someone who is an exceptional relationship builder, able to communicate, consult and influence at all levels, and operate as a solutions provider, pragmatic in your approach and able to find the routes through to success!

That’s all sounds great.... What’s in it for me?

In return we offer a salary of Circa £40,000 - £45,000 for a 35-hour week, 25 days annual leave (holidays also increase with time served) plus Bank Holidays, but our benefits are far more than a competitive salary and holiday allowance.

We offer a fantastic flexible, home working culture where you are measured on your outputs, so as well as working from home, whether you need time for an appointment, the school run or an exercise class, if it fits with what the business needs from your role, talk to your manager, we are open to what works for you too! When you want those social interactions with your teams, we have a state-of-the-art collaboration space based in Warrington for you to use, which you’ll also visit at times for team meetings, team days and training etc.
