You'll build strong relationships with leaders and managers and external contacts such as employment law solicitors to provide an efficient service to ensure Screwfix stays legally compliant.

We believe a hybrid, flexible working approach offers you - and your colleagues - the best of both worlds.

Face-to-face collaboration is an integral part of our warm, friendly culture, so you'll work from our head office three days a week.

Beyond that, how, when, and where you work is up to you.

With a subsidised canteen, free parking and a comfortable, relaxed environment, we've worked hard to build an office you'll want to work in.

  • Working individually and as part of the ER, wider HR and operational teams
  • Ability to manage the day to day activities of the ER helpline with the longer term project work required to improve our service.

Required skills & experience

  • This position would suit an ER specialist, HR generalist or Operational Manager with significant ER experience looking to move to a specialist employee relations role.
  • Considerable handson experience in dealing with ER cases is essential to offer the level of support and expertise required.
  • Working knowledge of employment law is essential, as is a common sense and pragmatic approach to dealing with cases.
