About Us

We’re a 5-star-rated multi-award-winning HR consultancy that provides outsourced HR support, management & wellbeing training, and recruitment services, to SMEs across the East Midlands.

About You

Do you want to …

• develop your career beyond in-house HR?
• experience an interesting variety of HR challenges across a wide-range of sectors and business types?
• be a valued part of a small team of knowledgeable and experienced, yet friendly and supportive, work colleagues?
• see visible real-word impact as a result of your efforts?
• have a multi-faceted role, where you have the opportunity to develop a wide range of new skills?
• participate in the full job lifecycle, from pre-sales business development to post-delivery support?
• work within an extremely flat management hierarchy, where your ideas are listened to, decisions are made quickly, and you’re empowered to make change happen?
• experience a workplace culture that takes employee wellbeing seriously?

About the Role

We’re currently seeking a qualified and experienced HR advisor with employee relations (ER) and policy development expertise to support a portfolio of local clients across a range of sectors and industries.

We think this role might particularly suit an HR professional who has significant experience in handling a high volume of employee relations (ER) cases within a stand-alone in-house HR support role or as part of a shared-services HR helpdesk.

In addition to technical HR skills, this role also requires an understanding of the commercial aspects of our business, such as client relationship management and billing.

But if you don’t already have these additional skills, that’s fine, our team of highly experienced HR consultants will help you develop them. What’s more important to us is the right attitude plus a willingness and ability to learn.
