Part-Time HR Consultant

Salary : £40,000 basic plus £9,000 bonus pro-rata

Hours : Part time - Number of hours per week are flexible

Are you an experienced HR professional looking for a dynamic and flexible consultancy role within a supportive and close-knit team

Fancy a part-time HR role with loads of variety and a genuinely supportive team

Our client is a family‑run HR consultancy based in Guildford, working with over 140 businesses across all sorts of sectors. They keep things practical, human and down-to‑earth, and they are looking for an experienced HR professional to join them part-time.

A Bit About Our Client

They are a close-knit team who look out for each other. They love the mix of work they get to do – one minute coaching a Manager, the next drafting a policy or helping a client navigate a tricky ER case. If you enjoy the fast‑paced, people‑focused side of HR, you'll fit right in.

What The Role Looks Like

As a part‑time HR Consultant, you'll work directly with your own group of clients, giving clear, sensible HR advice and helping them build strong people practices. You'll handle a real mix of work, from day‑to‑day queries to more complex ER cases and project work.

What You'll Be Doing :

• Advising clients on employee relations, performance, absence and general HR queries.
• Supporting recruitment, onboarding and drafting contracts and HR docs.
• Leading client meetings and being their go‑to HR contact.
• Pulling together policies, handbooks and tailored documentation.
• Carrying out HR audits and producing practical recommendations.
• Keeping clients informed on employment law updates.
• Working closely with their operations team to give a seamless service.

What They're Looking For :

• Strong HR generalist experience (consultancy experience is great but not essential).
• Confident giving advice independently and handling sensitive issues.
• Solid understanding of UK employment law.
• Great communication, organisation and attention to detail.
• A calm, pragmatic approach and the ability to juggle different clients.
• CIPD Level 5+ is helpful, but not a dealbreaker.
• Full UK driving licence and your own car for client visits.

What You'll Get :

• Part‑time hours that genuinely work around you
• Hybrid working
• Private healthcare with Vitality
• Income protection
• 33 days holiday (pro rata)
• Holiday buy‑back scheme
• Fully paid overtime
• Free office lunch
• A friendly, supportive team who actually enjoy working together

If you love variety, enjoy helping businesses get the best out of their people, and want a part‑time role with loads of flexibility, our client would love to chat.

If this sounds like something you would be interested in, they want to hear from you!
