The University has refreshed its strategy and set out an ambitious programme of change for the future, centred around financial stability, our academic offer, and our organisational agility.

Sheffield Hallam University has an ambitious and challenging people agenda and we are looking for a high-performing, future-focused Senior Advisor to join the Human Resources and Organisational Development Directorate as part of our Resourcing and Reward Team.

You will be responsible for providing specialist advice on a range of complex reward issues. Significant experience of a range of reward and recognition mechanisms is therefore essential, including job evaluation methodologies, grading structures, managing annual pay review cycles, benchmarking analysis and benefit programmes.

You should also demonstrate a commitment to customer service excellence, delivering a consistent and professional service, whilst maintaining compliance within regulatory and procedural frameworks.

You will be expected to develop effective working relationships across the wider team and Directorate, sharing best practice and knowledge, working together to promote a consistently high-quality service offer.

We offer a diverse range of benefits and opportunities to pursue a rewarding and fulfilling career in a supportive environment.

You will be contractually enrolled into the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) – one of the largest and most generous defined benefit pension schemes in the country.

If you are, or have been, a recent member of the Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS) directly prior to joining us, you can choose to opt out of the LGPS and remain in the USS.  Please contact the Pensions team to discuss options available.
