HR Consultant in Glasgow

HR Consultant

Glasgow / West Coast | Hybrid & Client-Facing | Immediately Available / Short notice is essential

Are you a commercially minded HR professional who enjoys variety, autonomy, and being close to the action?

This is an exciting opportunity to join a small, successful and growing HR consultancy working closely with SME and mid-sized clients across Scotland. You’ll partner directly with business owners and senior leaders, delivering practical, hands-on HR support that genuinely makes a difference.

This role is ideal for an experienced HR Generalist or HR Consultant who thrives in fast-paced environments, enjoys building strong client relationships, and wants to be trusted to get on with the job.

The Role

As an HR Consultant, you’ll take ownership of a portfolio of clients, acting as their trusted HR partner.

• Providing pragmatic HR advice across the full generalist remit, including disciplinary, grievance, absence, performance, redundancies, restructures and ER matters
• Supporting and leading projects such as restructures, TUPE, job design and salary benchmarking
• Coaching and advising SME leaders and managers, balancing risk, cost, and culture
• Building long-term client relationships across sectors such as professional services, manufacturing, and FMCG
• Managing your own workload and priorities with autonomy and accountability
• Working flexibly between home, office, and client sites

This is not a policy-heavy or purely advisory role; it’s about rolling your sleeves up and helping businesses move forward in the best way suited to each customer’s needs.

What We’re Looking For

• Have proven private sector, SMEs or consultancy experience within the UK
• Are commercially minded, pragmatic, and confident in making judgement calls
• Enjoy autonomy and can manage ambiguity without needing close supervision
• Are a natural relationship builder with good energy and credibility
• Are ambitious, proactive, and see consultancy as a long-term career path
• Enjoy variety, pace, and being out with clients
• Hold a full UK driving licence and have access to your own car, and are happy to travel to client sites

Why Join?

You’ll work directly with a highly experienced and supportive CEO, within a small, close-knit team that genuinely wants each other to succeed. There’s no hierarchy for the sake of it, no micromanagement, and no ego – just a collaborative environment where good work is recognised, and people are trusted to deliver. Oh, and having fun while you’re at it goes a long way 😉

If you’re looking for a role where you can own your work, build real relationships, and grow with the business, we’d love to hear from you. This one has a super quick turnaround, so apply now or email kelsie.patterson@symedrummond.co.uk for more details.
