12 month FTC

We’re partnering with a leading organisation on the outskirts of South Manchester to recruit an Employee Relations Investigator for an initial 12-month fixed-term contract.

About the Role

We’re looking for a forward-thinking, level-headed Employee Relations Investigator to join the People function. This role involves navigating complex workplace issues, getting to the facts quickly, and ensuring fair, thorough, and impartial outcomes.

You’ll be the trusted point of contact when situations escalate. From misconduct to grievances, you’ll conduct investigations that are detailed, professional, and aligned with employment law and company policy. Think of yourself as part investigator, part problem-solver, part trusted advisor.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Leading impartial investigations into employee relations matters such as misconduct, grievances, harassment, discrimination, and disciplinary issues.
• Gathering evidence through interviews, documentation, and analysis – and presenting findings clearly and accurately.
• Partnering with HR, managers, and legal teams to ensure cases are handled with fairness and consistency.
• Advising leaders on outcomes and next steps, balancing legal compliance with a strong people-first approach.
• Maintaining meticulous records and ensuring processes meet regulatory and best practice standards.
• Contributing to continuous improvement in ER policies, training, and culture.

What We’re Looking For

• Solid experience in Employee Relations, ideally with direct exposure to investigations.
• Strong knowledge of employment law and best practice ER processes.
• Excellent communication and interviewing skills – you can build rapport while staying impartial.
• A keen eye for detail, analytical thinking, and the ability to remain calm under pressure.
• Resilience, discretion, and confidence in handling sensitive and complex issues.

You’ll be joining a collaborative HR team where your work directly shapes a fair and positive workplace culture. They’ll support your development, challenge you with complex cases, and trust you to make an impact.

The salary is up to circa £58,000 plus bonus. The role is office-based four days per week with one day working from home, with some flexibility as required.
