HR Consultant

Position 

As an HR advisor on our team, you are flexible, reliable, and skilled in standard HR advisory work. You also play an active role in shaping HR policy. You enjoy engaging in meaningful conversations with managers and your HR colleagues, as well as with colleagues from other departments and partner organizations.  

You will advise managers on the implementation of HR policies. You will do this by drawing on your knowledge of developments in your own field, as well as in the field of youth care. You will also play an active role in the development of our team and our HR policies. 

The department 

The HR department is undergoing significant changes. The departure of two colleagues is being used as an opportunity to review the structure and division of labor within the team. The team consists of 5 HR advisors (including a vacant position), 2 HR desk staff, and 2 internal coaches. The HR department is based in The Hague, where you will work with your colleagues at least one day a week. In addition, you’ll work at various locations and from home if that suits you and you’re comfortable with it. Our colleague who currently supports the Zeeland region is retiring. If the Zeeland region is a viable work location for you, that’s a plus.

• Translating the HR vision and HR strategy into concrete policies.  
• Developing, implementing, and ensuring compliance with HR policies.
