Are you an experienced HR professional who thrives in fast-paced environments and enjoys tackling complex employee relations matters head-on? We’re looking for someone who brings confidence, sound judgment, and a calm, practical approach to challenging situations.

In this role, you’ll provide independent, impartial HR support to a range of clients—often onsite—guiding them through sensitive and complex ER issues.

You’ll be expected to act as a trusted advisor, sometimes supporting and other times making key decisions. Your ability to assess situations objectively and apply policy with clarity and consistency will be essential.

You’ll also deliver training to management teams, helping build their confidence and capability in handling people matters effectively. While the core focus is ER, there will be opportunities to contribute to wider HR projects supporting the employee lifecycle.

If you have experience as an external advisor or in shared services or case management roles, and seek a position where your expertise and independence are valued, we’d love to hear from you.

You should be diplomatic, resilient, and comfortable working with clients at all levels—maintaining professionalism while building strong relationships.
