Robert Half are delighted to be partnering exclusively with Mercy in Action to recruit for a HR & Payroll Manager to join their team. This is a permanent, hybrid role that can be based across their Peasedown St John and Bath offices.
The Company
Mercy in Action became a registered charity in 2003, providing aid to some of the poorest communities in the Philippines. To date they have supported 100's of children and individuals, into education, employment and housing, and grew to encompass projects which make vital differences to whole communities.
Off the back of their work in the Philippines, Mercy in Action started to grow their UK presence, tackling homelessness and food insecurity in the UK, launching Petra Project in 2016, providing safe housing to homeless mums and babies. In 2019 they expanded again, launching Clothesline, a project aimed to provide free quality clothing, shoes and school uniforms to children and young people facing hardship.
Through their charity shops, private donations and support, Mercy in Action continue to develop in both the UK and Philippines, living by their motto that mercy is more than a feeling, it's an action.
