• Advise and coach line managers to effectively manage all employee relations issues in line with HR policy and guidance across the full scope of ER cases and processes.

Who we are looking for

• A strong working knowledge of employment law, case law and HR best practice and proven experience of implementing it practically will be a key strength of yours.
• A problem solver! Always thinking how you can solve a problem whilst considering and balancing the risks of each of your options. That means we can provide the best possible advice and option, to facilitate managers to make the right choice for the business and importantly our colleagues.
• A team player – we work remotely so ability to work autonomously is important but so is the way we treat each other when we meet face to face as this makes a huge difference to the way we work and support each other. It’s tough in HR and a good team who has your back makes all the difference.
• An influencer with the ability to build trusted relationships with stakeholders at all levels across the business, taking a proactive approach rather than reactive, communicating effectively across all mediums.
