Saltaire HR firm creates new jobs after winning Bradford City Council contract

Saltaire HR advisory firm AdviserPlus has been appointed by City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council to deliver guidance to its 10,000 employees through a new services centre.

The appointment will provide a further boost to employment in Bradford with the creation of a number of new jobs.

Under the long-term commitment, AdviserPlus, in partnership with Bradford Council, will provide a suite of HR support to its managerial workforce.

Chris Clarke, chief executive of AdviserPlus, said: “Following our successful tender, we are delighted that Bradford Council has chosen AdviserPlus as its HR services partner.

“As we continue to grow and win new clients across the full range of industry sectors, extending our services to organisations in the public sector is very much a key strategic focus.

“Our partnership with Bradford Council is particularly significant as it enables us to increase our presence in the public sector and is our first local authority client.

“Providing outsourced services to public sector organisations offers unique challenges but we work closely with every client to ensure our approach and services are entirely customised to reflect an organisation’s culture, values and ways of working.”

Bradford Council is the fourth largest metropolitan district council in England. Matt Burghardt, the Council’s Interim Head of Human Resources, commented: “Our partnership with AdviserPlus is part of a long-term strategy to ensure that we support our managers by developing their skills and capability in dealing with HR issues.

“The model that AdviserPlus use is unique and we believe it will enhance our own in-house provision.”
