What We’re Looking For
This is a varied opportunity to provide professional HR advice by telephone and email, helping clients manage employee relations matters with confidence. You’ll advise on disciplinary and grievance processes, absence management, restructures, redundancy and TUPE, translating employment legislation into clear, business-focused guidance.
Working closely with your colleagues, you’ll ensure client enquiries are answered within agreed service levels and provide support to HR Consultants’ clients when they are unavailable.
You’ll also draft and review employment documentation, including offer letters and written statements, and help prepare and update employee handbooks and policies so they reflect current legislation and clients’ needs.
About You
You’ll bring practical HR experience at Advisor level or above, with experience providing business-focused advice to managers at different levels. You’ll have strong generalist HR knowledge, a sound understanding of current employment legislation and the confidence to apply it to real workplace situations.
You’ll be educated to degree level, ideally in HR Management, or have suitable equivalent experience. You’ll understand the commercial considerations behind your advice and communicate clearly and professionally, both verbally and in writing.
Strong organisation, attention to detail and relationship-building skills will help you succeed. You’ll be comfortable using Microsoft Office, web-based applications and HR systems, and able to manage competing priorities, use your initiative and work collaboratively under pressure.
