The Policy and Reward team — a fantastic opportunity for professional development
My name is Leena…
I’m an HR Support Officer with Human Resources. I’ve worked with the Council for nearly 3 years. Currently, I support the Policy and Reward team.
I studied Law at university but changed careers…
I moved into HR. My first role with Buckinghamshire Council was HR Service Desk Advisor in 2019. This was an exciting role, allowing me to build my HR knowledge and experience. In 2021, I stepped up to the HR Policy and Reward team. Here, I have been involved with different areas, including job evaluation, benchmarking and reviewing employee benefits.
My responsibilities are varied, which is great for me…
I deal with all the job evaluation administration. I work with managers to ensure job evaluation templates are completed, provide advice and guide them through the process, as well as coordinate panels. I arrange employee benefits and keep these up-to-date. Plus, I support policy writing and research, and respond to policy and reward queries. I also advise employees on contract queries, allowances, or different policy processes.
I love being able to help our colleagues resolve problems and achieve their end goals…
Advising and guiding colleagues on HR policy and reward issues is definitely the best part of my role. My work is so varied, I now have the knowledge to help with different issues and queries, no matter how big or small. This gives me a definite sense of job satisfaction.
If you’re looking for a flexible, supportive, and rewarding employer, Buckinghamshire Council is a great place to work…
Being able to work from home, as well as the office, really helps me maintain work-life balance. We also have some great staff offers including discounts at theatres, various cafes and restaurants —I am definitely making the most of them!
It’s an exciting time to join the team…
There are always changes and new projects coming up — no two days are the same! It’s a fantastic opportunity to develop your knowledge and skills.
We currently have weekly team meetings which are a great way to catch up and discuss current workloads…
This is also an opportunity to learn something new or be involved with different projects/tasks. Plus, I can ask as many questions as I like, and no one minds — everyone is friendly and supportive. It’s a small but collaborative and diverse group, which is great.
