Self Employed Area Directors in Reading

A unique opportunity to be part of this recession-proof and phenomenally profitable sector. UK based Area Directors with Franchise HR Specialist Consultancy.

Running your own HR consultancy is rewarding, flexible, and empowering, and lets be honest, slightly scary if you've not done it before! You are a seasoned HR Specialist or HR Director or have worked at a similar level and are considering a move from being employed to setting up an HR Consultancy.

There could be an option you haven't yet considered; a way of being in business for yourself - but not by yourself - having Director level coaching and support to find clients and access to our comprehensive resources including our Marketing Agency content and HR and Training Course Resource Libraries - and much more. This really is a viable short-cut to ensure your own HR consulting business grows quickly and sustainably, and you are able to add real value to the relationship you have with your clients.

We are a successful HR Consultancy and a Member of the BFA - the British Franchise Association.

By partnering with the Our HR People national brand, you are able to take control of your own future, own your financial efforts, and work with a team of people who are there to inspire and support you.
