HR Operations Manager - Powys

HR Operations Manager Jobs

With the complex staffing needs of a busy company, the importance of the HR operations manager cannot be overstated. Their principal role is to make sure the strategic business plans of the board are fulfilled from the HR perspective, which means that they will have to make key decisions on recruitment, training and redundancies as necessary. This could be over a single department or site, or over a entire company with multiple locations.

The HR manager could be part of a team of managers under an HR director, and could be in charge of an HR team or working independently, depending on the size and structure of the company. Either way, they need to report to the board with their decisions regarding staffing needs, and may have to work out means of delivering the board’s aims within tight budgetary constraints to maintain profitability. Success is measured in terms of how the manager’s policies and decisions impact on the profitability and productivity of the company or department under their management.

The skills required

A background in HR is an essential element of this role, preferably to management level but many companies recognize that HR is often a one-person job in many small to medium companies and the skill-set picked up will be advanced despite the lack of a formal management title. If the experience is in the same industry as that of the position being filled, that will be a bonus, as different sectors have widely varying HR needs.

You also need to be an excellent communicator with a proven ability to take strategic instructions from the board and interpret them into actionable plans that bring measurable benefits to the company. Many companies require CIPD or equivalent work-based training qualifications as an entry condition, but others may be willing to take talented HR professionals through to such qualifications.

HR Operations Manager Jobs in Powys

Powys is the largest county in Wales by area, although only 11th by population (just 135,000), mainly because much of the area is mountainous. It is a landlocked county with a long border with England, meeting Shropshire and Herefordshire; it shares Welsh borders with Gwynedd, Denbighshire, Wrexham, Ceredigion, Carmarthenshire and Monmouthshire. Its administrative centre is in Llandrindod Wells, right in the centre, although it’s quite a small town, with only 5000 inhabitants. The largest town is Newtown (13,000), followed by Ystradgynlais (9,000) and Brecon (8000). Needless to say, the population comprises many, many small villages and towns.

Such low concentrations of population and alack of industrialisation mean that HR Operations Manager jobs are not in huge demand in Powys. The tourism industry can create some such jobs, but on the whole it is best to look for the towns and cities around the borders of Powys in Wales and England for a better chance of finding something.
