We are looking for two HR People Consultants to join our People Consultancy team. If you thrive on managing employee relations casework, working collaboratively with managers, and making a real impact, we want to hear from you!

About the Team
The People Consultancy team are a dedicated group of professionals who are genuinely passionate about making a positive impact in the workplace. We pride ourselves on providing tailored support and guidance to managers and employees alike. Whether it’s navigating complex HR policies, managing employee relations processes, or facilitating change management initiatives, we’re here to help every step of the way.

We are a personable, friendly, and enthusiastic team that genuinely cares about the well-being and development of the people we work with. Our mission is to create a thriving workplace culture where everyone can achieve their full potential and contribute to the organisation’s success. Join us, and you will find a team that values collaboration, trust, and excellence, and is always ready to lend a helping hand.

About the Roles
As a HR People Consultant, you will be a trusted HR adviser to managers across the organisation, supporting them on a range of employee relations matters, including disciplinaries, grievances, managing absence, and performance. You will also gain exposure to restructures and TUPE cases while working as part of a collaborative and supportive team.
This role is perfect for a HR professional looking to broaden their casework experience in a dynamic and varied environment. You will benefit from a dedicated mentor, ongoing learning opportunities, and the chance to be involved in impactful HR projects.

This is large-scale, complex work that will give you exposure to challenges and experiences few other roles can offer. You will develop specialist skills in organisational change, employee relations, and workforce transition. Skills that will set you apart in the HR field and position you as a subject matter expert in a highly sought-after area.
