Job Purpose
An expanding Human Resources team is seeking an experienced HR Generalist, with at least 3 years of operational HR experience to join the provincial team. The Representative Body of the Church in Wales provides an HR service for:
- Clergy – Office Holders
- Employees – sometimes known as lay staff.
The Office Holder HR portfolio is varied and will require a practitioner keen to learn about this niche area. Training and support will be provided.
This role will provide comprehensive HR support across all areas of the employee lifecycle, ensuring that HR policies, procedures, and practices are effectively implemented.
The ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of employment law, excellent relationship building skills, and a proactive approach to solving HR challenges in both portfolios. The work will be a mixture of case work and developmental work within the region.
The role involves supporting Ministry Area leaders, who have responsibility for multiple churches, and two Cathedrals per region. Each Cathedral is supported by a staff team comprised of a mix of clergy and lay employee roles.
The provincial HR service is split into areas, covering two dioceses’:
- North Wales – primarily Bangor and St Asaph
- Mid Wales – primarily St Davids and Swansea and Brecon
- South Wales – primarily Llandaff and Monmouth
The roles are homebased and will involve regular travel. It is essential that applicants are drivers and have access to a vehicle suitable for business use.

- At least two years’ experience of creating and delivering training sessions.
- A minimum of two years generalist HR experience to include the management of case work and the provision of HR advice to employees and managers.

- Has or is willing to develop an understanding of the faith-based sector.
