About us
Headquartered out of London’s King’s Cross – and along with offices in Leeds, Manchester, Cirencester and Edinburgh, 26 different agencies make up the Havas UK Village. As others attempt- and struggle – to integrate and simplify their offer, we continue to pioneer the UK’s only truly integrated model. We are the only UK communications network to share a single building with every other specialist business in our network, all under a single P&L, which means we can draw on broader expertise to create bespoke teams. Our overarching mission is to make a meaningful difference to the brands, businesses, and lives of the people we work with.
Our agencies are made up of three main groups, linking Creative, Media and Health services. We work with some of the most recognisable brands to form strategic and creative partnerships, guiding our clients towards their marketing and communication objectives. We are a bustling group of agencies filled with passionate individuals who all bring their own expertise and work together across varying teams and disciplines. We provide first class services for our clients through a whole spectrum of agencies and departments, including strategy, analytics, media planning, creative, design, UX&UI, social media, public relations, integrated marketing and much more.
The People Advisor role is a fantastic opportunity for an existing Junior Advisor or experienced Coordinator to join our talented People team. You’ll work closely with the People Business Partners and provide first line support and expert, commercial advice to employees and managers at all stages of the employee life cycle. The role also includes accountability for delivering projects and initiatives in line with the People and Business strategy.
Your personality and approach is as important as your experience. You’ll love this role if you thrive in fast paced, dynamic, results driven environments with the opportunity to be involved in delivering leading edge transformational HR initiatives.
