HR

Access the latest NJC pay scales used across the voluntary and community sector in Northern Ireland.

We publish updated pay scale guidance each year based on the National Joint Council (NJC) agreement.

We provide advice and guidance on a wide range of HR topics to help you manage staff and volunteers effectively.

Whether you’re developing policies, dealing with employee relations issues or responding to new challenges, our team can support you.

Our staff handbook provides examples of HR policies used within NICVA. These are shared as a reference to support organisations in developing their own policies.

Please note: these policies are specific to NICVA and are not intended for direct use in other organisations. Any policy should be reviewed and approved by your board or management committee and tailored to your organisation’s needs.

Build your confidence in managing HR through our training.

We offer sessions on key topics such as employment law, managing people and developing effective policies. You can attend scheduled training or arrange tailored sessions for your organisation.
