Employee Relations Lead - Job Description Your new company You'll be joining a well-established, UK-based organisation undergoing significant transformation across its People Operations function.
With c.2,500 employees and a maturing HR operating model, the business is shifting from a historically entrepreneurial culture to a more sophisticated, well-governed environment.
The People function is evolving quickly, with a strong focus on collaboration, capability uplift and modernising how ER, Advisory and People Operations work together.
Your new role As the ER lead, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the organisation's approach to employee relations, moving it from reactive case handling to a proactive, early-intervention model.
Sitting within the People Ops remit, you will lead ER strategy, oversee complex cases and partner closely with the Senior ER Specialist, who focusses on policy, practice and manager capability.
You'll support the People Hub with early-stage values and absence matters, while also taking ownership of senior-level ER cases that require expert judgement, calm decision-making and strong stakeholder management.
This role sits one level below the SLT and offers significant influence across the wider People function.
Key responsibilities Lead the organisation's ER agenda, shifting from reactive case management to proactive dispute resolution.
Provide expert guidance on complex and sensitive ER matters...
