People and Culture Advisor

Join our small but perfectly formed People Advisory team in the UK&I! You will join us on a 12 month fixed term contract, working 2 days a week in one of our London offices near Old Street or Bank.

You’ll provide trusted guidance, manage documentation and data insights, and help maintain a fair, compliant, and people‑centred approach to employee relations. This is a 12‑month fixed‑term contract (maternity cover) — ideal for someone passionate about employee experience, detail‑driven, and ready to contribute meaningfully within a collaborative and supportive team.
