Passionate about people? Bring your HR expertise to a role where you’ll coach leaders, resolve complex challenges and strengthen organisational capability.

The Scottish Public Pensions Agency (SPPA) administers pensions for Scottish Teachers, Police, Firefighters’ and National Health Service employees on behalf of the Scottish Government. We’re responsible for protecting the financial futures of over half a million people – that’s around 1 in 10 people in Scotland. If you’re looking for meaningful work, a supportive environment and a career with purpose, you’ll find it at the SPPA. Our office is based in Tweedbank in the Scottish Borders, the train station is a short two-minute walk away and offers regular services to and from Edinburgh Waverley, making it a convenient and well-connected location for commuters. The surrounding area offers access to green space, walking routes and a strong sense of local community, supporting wellbeing both in and outside of work. Our modern office building is designed to support flexible and collaborative working, with spaces for teamwork, quiet focus and hybrid working. Colleagues benefit from a comfortable, welcoming environment that reflects our commitment to wellbeing and inclusion.

As an experienced HR Generalist, you will provide expert HR advice, coaching and consultancy to managers and employees across all aspects of HR policy, employee relations, wellbeing and the wider employee lifecycle. You will support the HR Manager to deliver high-quality, accessible HR services that meet current and future organisational needs. You will contribute to the delivery of the People Strategy through effective people management, resourcing and workforce planning.

This is a high-impact role operating across the full HR lifecycle, with responsibility for managing complex casework and supporting continuous improvement. You will also play a key part in building manager capability and ensuring organisational compliance with policy and legislation.
