We’re BDO. An accountancy and business advisory firm, providing the advice and solutions entrepreneurial organisations need to navigate today’s changing world.

We work with the companies that are Britain’s economic engine – ambitious, entrepreneurially-spirited and high growth businesses that fuel the economy - and directly advise the owners and management teams that lead them.

We’ll broaden your horizons

Our greatest asset is our people, so our People team focus on ensuring we are all reaching our potential. They use their specialist expertise to help us attract great talent, enable our employees to succeed and inspire a unified culture of development across our firm. By playing a role in the recruitment and management of our people, they help change lives and influence the future of BDO. Join a driven and passionate team where you can be yourself, while also helping your colleagues to achieve their ambitions.

We’ll help you succeed

Leading organisations trust us because of the quality of our advice. That quality grows from a thorough understanding of their business, and that understanding comes from working closely with them and building long-lasting relationships.

You’ll be someone who is both comfortable working pro-actively and managing your own tasks, as well as confident collaborating with others and communicating regularly with senior managers, directors, and BDO’s partners to help businesses effectively. You’ll be encouraged to identify and draw attention to opportunities for enhancing our delivery and providing additional services to organisations we work with.

In this role you will provide delivery support within the HR Generalist team, reporting to the Senior HR Manager. You will support across selected elements of the Tax stream culture agenda and wider operational people activity, as required—for example, annual people processes, implementation of firmwide performance changes including actions arising from people and culture priorities.

The role has four key areas of focus:

• Culture programme support: support selected elements of the Tax culture plan through coordination, governance, tracking, reporting, communication and implementation. Contributing to localised culture plans as required.
• BAU and cyclical HR delivery: support the Senior HR Manager with day-to-day BAU activity and wider people and culture projects.
• Project deployment: provide support on stream led programmes where people and culture expertise and input are required.
• Continuous improvement and implementation: Identify opportunities to continuously improve and streamline key people processes in conjunction with other SMEs, professional and business support teams.

The role will coordinate actions, progress implementation, prepare updates and reporting, provide practical guidance to leaders, and identify opportunities to improve delivery and BAU effectiveness.

You’ll be someone with:

• Ideally educated to degree level and/or CIPD qualified;
• Experience of working within a professional services or partnership environment beneficial but not essential;
• Strong working knowledge of employment legislation and best practice;
• Proven experience as a credible and assertive business partner influencing up to Partner level;
• Proven experience of developing effective processes and suggesting new ways of working;
• Ability to project manage multiple projects and priorities;
• Comfortable with systems with an ability to make commercially based recommendations on the basis of data.

At BDO, we’ll help you achieve your personal goals and career ambitions, and we have programmes, resources, and frameworks that provide clarity and structure around career development.
