HR Officer (Reward)

This is an exceptional opportunity to join a leading public sector organisation in a Reward focussed HR Officer role, based in Edinburgh.


Salary, circa £27,000 pa, plus 41 days annual holiday and 19.3% employer pension contribution along with personal development opportunities. Full time, permanent.


If you are already operating at an HR Officer level with Reward experience, then this role would provide an excellent chance to further develop specialist Reward skills and knowledge for a longer term career in this area of human resources. In particular,

·        facilitating sessions with staff to develop generic job descriptions

·       managing the administration of job evaluation and taking part in panels as a job analyst

·        researching compensation and benefit best practice and law, proposing changes to existing policies and rolling out communication of changes to staff

·        obtaining, analysing and presenting management information from the HR IT system

·        providing advice and guidance to managers and staff on all Reward matters

Whilst primarily being a Reward focussed position, in addition, there is a component of generalist HR Officer duties, allowing you to maintain your skills in this area.

The role, reporting to the HR Manager (Reward), will suit an energetic and proactive individual with existing Reward experience at HR Officer level, particularly job evaluation. Applicants are likely to possess, be studying or aiming towards CIPD membership and be of graduate calibre or equivalent. Further, have a demonstrable track record of utilising excellent one-to-one interpersonal and communication skills, possess an analytical approach, good Excel skills and be comfortable working on their own initiative. Whilst based in Edinburgh, there will be occasional travel to and operation from the Glasgow city centre office.

This is a career opportunity not to be missed for an aspiring Reward Manager/Specialist!
