HR Team Leader

What will you be doing:

In this role, you will lead a team of 22 dedicated HR professionals, including Strategic Advisors, HR Advisors, Recruiters, and HR Associates. To them, you are not only a source of inspiration, but also a professional sounding board and coach. You will help them set priorities, drive results, and create a work environment where they feel safe and can fully utilize their talents.

By fostering connections within the organization and with our clients, you add value by identifying opportunities and collaborate with other teams to achieve our goals. In this role, you will also oversee the HR Administration team, helping them to establish processes and ensure the highest quality of service. With your vision and inspiring ideas, you will further promote collaboration on broader HR themes such as a learning organization, sustainable employability, vitality, diversity, inclusion, and equality.

You:

A wide range of challenges and projects await you. You are a change agent who navigates seamlessly between operational, tactical, and strategic issues without losing focus. With your empathy, you motivate and coach your employees, encouraging them to draw on their own strengths and take ownership of their work.

To help us make a difference, you should also bring the following:

• A college-level or university-level standard of work and thinking.
• Demonstrable management experience, preferably in a service-oriented (HR) consulting firm.
• Extensive knowledge of HR, HR processes, and organizational development.
• Experience in project management and leading project teams.

We also invest in relevant education and training within your field. You will receive: a salary between €5,445 and €6,575 gross per month in scale 12 of the collective bargaining agreement for public libraries.

• A year-end bonus of 4% and vacation pay equal to 8% of the gross annual salary.

• Access to our work café, where you can meet your colleagues and make your own barista-style coffee (or tea). You can also enjoy a delicious, fresh lunch from our caterer, Bora.
• The option to work remotely. This means that your work determines where you work—whether from home, at the office, or at another location.
• A laptop and a smartphone.
• A free library card!

Where will you be working:

Rijnbrink believes it is important for everyone to have the opportunity to grow. Young and old—throughout their lives. So that as many people as possible can participate and shape themselves and our society. Libraries, cultural institutions, schools, and music associations play a vital role in this lifelong development. Because that is where everyone gains access to what makes us human: our language, digital skills, literature, culture, and music.

From our beautiful office in Deventer, we work with and for library organizations, cultural institutions, schools, and music associations. We help them succeed in their social missions, make a difference, and remain future-proof. Together, we develop innovative solutions, services, and programs. In addition, our partners can hire Rijnbrink’s expertise and purchase services from us. In this way, we are building a culturally and organizationally strong, future-proof cultural sector—and a smart, skilled, and creative Gelderland and Overijssel.
