HR Assistant (LW)

An excellent opportunity has arisen for an experienced HR Assistant to join our HR Support and Advice Shared Services Centre.

The role would be ideally suited to someone with experience of working in a fast-paced demanding user led HR service and experience in an NHS environment would be desirable but not essential.

You will provide responsive, professional and high quality, customer-focused Human Resources advice and support to managers and staff across NHS Fife on a range of areas such as supporting work life balance, retirement, terms and conditions of service, onboarding and non-complex employee relations issues including Attendance Management, Conduct, Grievance, Capability and Bullying & Harassment. You will provide this advice on a digital platform (Service Now) as well as by telephone and on MS Teams.

You will have excellent communication (verbal and written), organisational, time management and problem-solving skills and the ability to work on your own initiative. In addition, good IT and keyboard skills are essential.

You should have an awareness of employment legislation and Human Resources policies.

This post is hybrid working at present with an expectation that during the initial training period you would be office based for 3 days per week and thereafter 1-2 days per week. This is a 21.6hrs permanent post and you will work these hours on the following allocated days: Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. This could change at some point in the future to meet the needs of the service.

Interviews will be held on 17/06/2026

For informal enquiries, please contact Tania Downie at [email protected] or Dale Ganson at [email protected].

As from 1/4/26, the Agenda for Change full-time working week will be reducing from 37 to 36 hours per week. Part time hours will be reduced pro-rata. However, there will be a corresponding increase in the hourly rate so that pay will not be affected.

To work in the United Kingdom, there is a legal requirement for an individual to demonstrate that they have the relevant permission to work in the country. This permission is, without exception, granted by the UK Visa and Immigrations Service.

As part of the pre-employment checks for a preferred candidate, NHS Scotland Boards will check your entitlement to work in the UK. It can be evidenced through a number of routes including specific types of visa as well as EU settled and pre-settled status. To find out more about these routes of permission, please refer to the GOV.UK website.

It is ESSENTIAL that you have checked that you either already have an appropriate right to work in the UK or that the post would be eligible to be sponsoredBEFORE submitting your application form.

We offer flexible working and family-friendly policies and fully support disabled candidates, and candidates with long-term conditions or who are neurodivergent by making reasonable adjustments to our recruitment policy and practices.

Please note the salary is pro rata for part time hours.
