Job description

Are you an experienced HR professional who loves rolling their sleeves up and getting stuck into the variety of a generalist role?

Do you thrive on providing pragmatic advice, drafting crisp policies, and solving complex employee relations challenges?

We’re looking for a hands‑on HR Consultantto provide robust support to a portfolio of SME clients around the Leeds, West Yorkshire area - Bradford, Dewsbury, Wakefield, etc.

What does being a HR Consultant involve?

• You will act as a trusted HR partner to companies with no internal HR function, dealing directly with business owners and managers.
• You'll also support companies with under‑resourced HR teams with project work, or step in to handle complex escalations for standalone HR officers.
• This could be tasks such as: employee relations casework, drafting policies and handbooks, restructure projects, recruitment, designing training, etc.
• This isn't a high‑level strategy role. It’s a pure, end‑to‑end operational HR role where your guidance directly shapes client success.

What we are looking for:

• Proven experience in a HR generalistrole (ideally you will have been a HR Advisor or HR Manager).
• Comfortable engaging directly with business owners, senior managers, and HR peers.
• Ideally CIPD qualified,but being qualified by experience is fine too
• Full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle, for client visits across the local region.

Why you’ll love being a HR consultant:

• No Cold Calling:There is zero requirement to bring in new clients. Your focus is purely on exceptional service delivery.
• Bonus Potential:Generous commission scheme available if you identify opportunities to upsell additional services to existing clients (£5-6k per year).
• Flexibility:The role is Monday to Friday, 40 hours. You manage your own diary and can flex your start/finish times to suit your work/life balance.
• Variety:You will be working from home unless you're called to a client site. This could be anywhere from zero to five days in a week.

If you're thinking about a move into HR consultancy then this is a great opportunity: a well‑established and successful team, with a growing portfolio of clients.
