HR Adviser

An exciting opportunity is available as part of our expanding HR team at the University of Chester to work 14 hours per week, on a fixed term contract basis to 27th September 2026.

As HR Adviser you will be responsible for ensuring effective delivery of HR advice, guidance and support to managers and employees on the full employee lifecycle.
