Job description

Who are MYHR?

For the past 12 years, we’ve been supporting employers with all aspects of people management – we have the skills and expertise to resolve people problems, develop strategies for change and business improvement, and work through the most complex of workforce challenges so that our clients can keep their attention focused on delivering their own services.

We aren’t just a remote business partner though – we like our clients to know that if we are needed onsite, we’ll be there, and quite often – we are!

Based in Blackpool, Lancashire (South Shore) we are a growing team of employed consultants, with some self‑employed associates, and we support clients in all sectors, from hotels to hairdressers, councils to consultancies. Our clients range in size from 5 staff to upwards of 2000, and we provide a bespoke service to those who need added support to help them through challenging times.

Our clients get to know us, and we get to know them well.

Benefits

We offer a competitive salary for our HR Consultant roles, which would be dependent on skills and experience.

Our key offering though is flexibility: whilst we would want you to come and work from the office at least two days a week, we are able to offer excellent flexible working arrangements, which would include:

• Developing people strategies to enhance business success through their workforce

For our team, we’ll expect you to make a contribution to ensure we stay at the top of our game, and this could include:

• Working together to keep the team up to date with legislation and best practice
• Developing and reviewing our documents to ensure we are always providing the best possible resources for our clients
• Finding ways to embed continuous improvement across the business

Who are we looking for?

For this role, we are looking for a well‑rounded HR generalist, with experience of supporting managers through the day‑to‑day challenges of people management at operational level.

• You are familiar with UK employment legislation, with the ability to translate legislation into workable solutions for employers
• You have a pragmatic approach to risk management, with experience of advising managers on the implications of numerous options for problem resolution
• You have an excellent ability to build and maintain working relationships with clients
• You can work under pressure and still maintain high quality customer service levels in all that you do
