This is an opportunity to make an immediate and lasting impact with your generalist knowledge – and prove your passionate belief in the wider contribution that HR can make.

In this role, you’ll be delivering high-quality, proactive advice and support across key HR policies and processes, including diversity and inclusion, recruitment, wellbeing support, people and performance management.

We'll also expect you to take on project work contributing to strategic objectives, and to continually promote and improve HR services to meet organisational needs and boost the effectiveness of Greenpeace as a whole.

Location: Islington, London. Our hybrid working model enables us to enjoy the benefits of both office based and remote working. We ask that staff work from the office in Islington 40% of their time, with 20% required as a minimum. Reasonable adjustments as well as specific office based needs will be considered for those with long term health conditions and disabilities.

You'll have:

• The generalist HR experience to build effective professional relationships and provide wide-ranging advice to staff and managers.
• CIPD qualification and/or evidence of professional operational experience to equivalent standard.
• Experience of HRIS administration, data management and reporting.
• The ability to identify, manage and report on HR metrics to inform HR solutions.
• A creative and analytical approach to HR problem solving, with the ability to critically appraise HR policies and processes and suggest improvements.

We give you:
You’ll be encouraged to develop both personally and professionally, taking advantage of the wide range of learning and development opportunities available to our staff. We offer great benefits such as a generous pension scheme, subsidised lunches, free yoga and a wealth of well-being resources, just to name a few.

At Greenpeace UK we are committed to advancing diversity, inclusion, equity and becoming anti-racist.

In particular, we want to be more representative of Britain’s diversity at senior levels of GPUK.
