Interim People Advisor - 9-Month Contract
Location: Remote (occasional travel to Head Office - once every three months)
Industry: Legal
Start Date: ASAP
Contract Type: Fixed-Term (9 months)

Are you an experienced ER specialist ready to hit the ground running in a fast-paced legal environment?
We're seeking an Interim ER Advisor to join a leading law firm on a 9-month contract. This fully remote position requires only minimal office presence—just one day every three months at head office.

In this key role, you'll be responsible for managing a high volume of ER cases (up to 40 at any one time), including complex issues that can lead to disciplinary outcomes, including dismissal. You'll work with a wide range of stakeholders across the firm, providing pragmatic, expert advice and support on all aspects of employee relations.

1. Manage and advise on a high caseload of complex ER matters, including disciplinary, grievance, performance, and absence cases.
2. Ensure consistent, fair, and legally compliant outcomes.
3. Partner with HR colleagues and business leaders to guide them through sensitive and challenging ER issues.
4. Provide clear, accurate, and timely documentation and reports as required.
5. Maintain excellent working relationships with stakeholders at all levels.

1. ER Specialist: This is not a generalist role—you must have focused exclusively on ER in your recent experience.
2. Experience: Minimum 2-3 years handling a high volume of ER cases, including complex and sensitive issues.
3. Stakeholder Management: Comfortable working with multiple stakeholders in a professional, and sometimes high-pressure, legal environment.
4. Strong understanding: of current UK employment law and best practice.
5. Confident: Solutions-focused, and able to operate with autonomy in a remote setting.

If you're an ER expert looking for your next contract role and are confident in managing complex casework in a legal setting, we'd love to hear from you.
