Join our Resources, Systems & Culture Team.
ADD is currently transforming its way of working and its own staffing structure to deliver on its new strategy and become a Participatory Grant Maker. This has brought opportunities for trialling new HR related initiatives (such as a 4-day working week) and global standards and also posed new and interesting challenges which means we require additional HR support.
Contract: Full-time and permanent (though we are open to considering applications from those who want to work on a part-time or job-share basis). We are currently trialling a 4-day working week for the same pay and you will have the choice to opt-in to the trial on the understanding it could end.
Location: This role is open to applicants based anywhere ADD currently has staff (Bangladesh, Cambodia, Kenya, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda or UK). You must have an existing right to work in the country you wish to be based.
Salary: Please see our Global Salary Scales for more information on salaries payable in different locations. This role will be paid at the rate for Grade D in these scales. We do not negotiate on salary.
Closing date: 30 April 12pm UK time
The Opportunity.
This role will work with the HR Manager to support and lead on all aspects of generalist HR across ADD. The opportunity has arisen as the HR Manager takes on a greater responsibility for other projects and initiatives so requires an additional HR resource to take the lead on day-to-day HR tasks. The role will manage general HR tasks and administration as well as leading on specific HR projects.
It is an exciting time to be joining ADD as we realise the transition set out in our new strategy. As well as managing day to day HR tasks there will be opportunities for this role to get involved in, and make suggestions for, new ways of doing things. We have a particular focus on wellbeing, training and inclusive cultures during 2025 and this role will be able to support work in these areas.
Ideal Characteristics.
- You have significant experience of managing generalist HR and administration in a busy office environment, ideally within an NGO/Charity
- You have a good knowledge of emerging HR trends and best practice
- You are passionate about wellbeing and inclusion and enabling staff to work at their full potential
- You have experience of advising managers on a wide range of HR areas
- You have knowledge of employment law in at least one country in which ADD currently has staff, other than the UK
