HR Advisor

Suffolk GP Federation CIC

The closing date is 21 April 2025

Job summary

We have a unique opportunity for an HR Advisor join Suffolk GP Federation supporting Unity Healthcare GP Practice.

This exciting opening has come about following a review of the Practices management structure after the successful launch of the Unity Healthcare Hub.

Unitys new Hub model is a transformative approach designed to enhance patient care and staff well-being. It allows us to address the limitations of physical clinical space by providing dedicated clinical office space where patient contact is managed remotely through triage and consultations. Face-to-face appointments continue at our three existing sites (Haverhill, Long Melford, Lavenham).

Our attention is on developing our workforce model to support our growing organisation. Our clinical staff have a portfolio role, rotating between Speed Triager, Hub Remote Consultor, Face-to-face clinician and GP Site Lead.

We are also making a significant investment in a new, larger management structure in order to meet Unitys 2028 vision.

Main duties of the job

You will be part of the Federations central HR team with a focus on Unity Healthcare; you will provide day-to-day HR support to Unity, being the first point of contact for line managers and employees.

You will coach and guide line managers with the full HR life cycle, embedding the Federation culture and approach whilst providing up to date accurate HR advice

You will manage and ensure the ongoing use of the Practices HR and Compliance System (TeamNet)
