• Producing reports, analysing management information, identifying trends and recommending action plans
• Maintaining accurate, secure casework and employee records in accordance with data-protection requirements

Experience required:

• Substantial experience managing high-volume employee relations casework end to end, up to and including dismissal, with an emphasis on informal resolution
• Strong, current knowledge of employment law, case law and HR best practice
• CIPD Level 5, active study towards it, or equivalent relevant professional experience
• Ability to produce reports, interpret management information and recommend practical action
