This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced HR professional who enjoys client-facing advisory work and is looking to develop their career within a consultancy environment.

Working closely with a Senior HR Consultant, you’ll support a portfolio of external clients, providing pragmatic, commercially minded HR advice across the full employee lifecycle, while also contributing to the growth of the HR consultancy offering.

What you’ll be doing:

• Providing high-quality HR advice and support across a broad range of generalist areas, including employee relations, absence and performance management, recruitment and onboarding.
• Supporting clients with disciplinary, grievance and capability matters, ensuring fair process and legal compliance, escalating complex cases where required.
• Managing recruitment activity for client vacancies, including advertising roles, shortlisting, first-stage interviews and coordinating interviews.
• Advising on contracts, new starter processes, probation, leavers, dismissals and appeals, including conducting exit interviews when requested.
• Supporting clients with employee lifecycle matters such as family leave, flexible working requests and policy implementation.
• Delivering line manager training on core HR topics such as D&G handling and mental health awareness.
• Keeping up to date with employment legislation and advising clients on best practice and policy updates.
• Assisting with business development activity, including networking events, social media content, awareness sessions and following up new business leads.

What we’re looking for:

You’ll bring proven experience in a generalist HR role, ideally within a client-facing or advisory environment, with a strong working knowledge of UK employment legislation. You’ll be comfortable advising across a wide range of HR matters including recruitment, employee relations, and performance and absence management. CIPD membership (Level 5) or equivalent experience is desirable.

You’ll be a confident, professional communicator, able to build effective relationships at all levels, manage multiple priorities and deliver to deadlines. A proactive, solution-focused and commercially aware approach is essential, along with a full driving license and willingness to travel occasionally to client sites.

If this opportunity sounds good and you can demonstrate the above, we're keen to hear from you ASAP.
