HR Consultant

Why Bird Protection?

With your talent, you could work anywhere. But you’re selective. You’ll only put your skills and well-rounded experience to work for an organization that makes a difference—for birds and nature, bothnationallyand internationally. You want work that truly matters, where you’re valued and get to collaborate with passionate colleagues. In short, welcome to Vogelbescherming Nederland! 

The HR team consists of an HR manager, an HR associate, and hopefully we’ll be able to add you to the team soon as an HR consultant. For certain topics, we rely on external expertise. 

What will you be doing as an HR consultant? 

The primary focus of this role is to support our managers in their HR responsibilities. Where necessary, you will organize any required procedural and technical support to this end. In addition, you will contribute to the (strategic) development of the entire HR field.

As an HR advisor, you will serve as the point of contact for our managers and external partners across the full spectrum of HR. Everything is covered: recruitment and selection, employee satisfaction, performance, development, well-being, sustainable employability, absenteeism, turnover, etc. All your work contributes to an organization where employees collaborate so effectively that we make an even greater impact for birds.

 You know better than anyone what’s going on within the teams and what it takes to strengthen them. You have a clear vision for recruitment and selection, as well as for developing people and their skills. You’re skilled at organizing these efforts, naturally within the framework of labor law, our own terms of employment, and other agreements.

Together with the HR team, we continue to work every day to professionalize and digitize HR and the organization.

Who are you?

You are an all-around HR consultant. You are flexible, but you also know how to strike a balance between immediate priorities and long-term goals. In addition, you have:

• HBO-level education and thinking skills, a completed degree, preferably in Human Resources Management;
• At least 3 years of experience in a similar role and up-to-date knowledge of the broad field of HR;
• Knowledge of relevant laws and regulations;
• Experience advising professionals;
• A fresh and critical look at current processes;
• Strong communication and advisory skills;
• A service-oriented attitude without overstepping your own boundaries;
• Preferably, knowledge of AFAS (our HR software). 

What do we offer you?   

• A versatile role in a casual, fun team where we work hard and laugh a lot;
• You are our most valuable asset: that’s why we provide opportunities for team and personal development;
• A one-year contract, with the possibility of renewal;
• A salary ranging from €3,384.10 to €4,781.35 (based on a 40-hour workweek), depending on education and experience;
• Excellent employment benefits, including the option to purchase up to 24 vacation days (based on a 40-hour workweek);
