HR Consultant

Job Description

Identify, advise, develop, and evaluate

You will be working within the Registry Office as part of the Human Resources and Legal Affairs team under the Organization Department. As an HR advisor in a small government organization, you will have a broad range of responsibilities. In this role, you will provide both solicited and unsolicited advice to members of the management team, for example regarding the application of employment terms and conditions and other organizational issues. You will also answer questions from managers regarding HR-related matters, such as absenteeism and performance reviews. You will contribute to the development and evaluation of HR policy. Additionally, you will stay informed about the status of personnel and payroll administration. In this position, your responsibilities will include:

• advising the management team and managers on HR issues in the broadest sense of the term
• advising Members of Parliament and staff in the personnel and payroll department on the financial arrangements applicable to Members of Parliament
• contributing to the development and evaluation of HR policies; you will also play a role in identifying issues
• gathering information from managers about positions that need to be filled and posting job openings
• participate in various meetings with staff members, managers, colleagues both within and outside your team, and with other government agencies

You’ll be joining a new team where responsibilities haven’t been assigned yet. We are therefore very interested in your ideas and the areas where you have the most knowledge and/or affinity. For example, do you know a lot about diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I)? If so, we’d love to hear how you plan to take this to the next level within our work and project groups. Or are you passionate about sustainable employability or data-driven work? We’re open to your initiatives.

Job Requirements

You have an analytical mindset and can distinguish between the main issues and the side issues. This helps you convey your advice clearly and convince others of its merits. You pick up on signals and ensure they reach the right people in a timely manner. You also stay informed about current trends in the world of HR and within the organization. When necessary, you stand by your well-reasoned advice, even if it sometimes meets with resistance. You are aware of the political and social role of the Senate in society. You handle this appropriately. And if a conflict arises? Then you remain calm, stay neutral, and seek the best solution.

You also have:

• At least a college-level education and way of thinking; preferably, you have a degree in human resources or HRM
• At least 3 years of work experience as an HR advisor or in a similar role
