Providing clear advice on people policy and practice, the HR Consultant stays current with employment laws and best practices. This role requires strong communication skills, HR advisory experience, and the ability to use data for decision-making. Embracing collaboration, innovation, empowerment, and responsibility, the HR Consultant fosters a sense of belonging in the workplace.

About you

We are looking for someone with up-to-date knowledge of employment law and best practices, with experience providing professional, pragmatic HR advice. You should have strong communication and interpersonal skills, and the ability to understand and utilise data and information quickly. Effective problem-solving skills and a commitment to continuous professional development are essential.

  • Experience in providing professional, pragmatic HR advice
  • Able to assess and understand manager capability
  • Ability to understand data and information quickly
  • Demonstrated ability to develop and maintain strong working relationships
  • Discretion and diplomacy in dealing with confidential information and sensitive issues
  • Understanding of project and change management

Rewards and benefits

We will support you to be at your best in work and to live well outside of it. In addition to competitive salaries, we offer a world-class, flexible rewards package, featuring family-friendly and planet-friendly benefits including:

  • 28 days annual leave plus bank holidays
  • Private medical and Permanent Health Insurance
  • Discretionary annual bonus
  • Group personal pension scheme
  • Life assurance up to 4 x annual salary
  • Green travel schemes

We are a hybrid working organisation, and we offer a range of flexible working options from day one. We expect most hybrid-working colleagues to spend 40-60% of their time at their dedicated office or location. We will also consider other work arrangements if you wish to work more flexibly or require adjustments due to a disability.

We review applications on an ongoing basis, with a closing date for all applications being Tuesday 18th March although we may close it earlier if suitable candidates are identified. Interviews are scheduled to take place during and after this date.

Please note that successful applicants will be subject to satisfactory background checks including DBS due to working in a regulated industry.

We welcome applications from all candidates, regardless of demographic characteristics (age, disability, educational attainment, ethnicity, gender, marital status, neurodiversity, religion, sex, gender identity and sexual identity), cultural, or social class/background.

We believe better outcomes come through diversity of thought, background, and approach. We welcome applications from people from all backgrounds and communities, actively seeking to employ people from a wide range of different communities.

We are a hybrid working organisation and expect colleagues to spend 40-60% of their time at their dedicated office or location. We offer a range of flexible working options from day one and will consider requests for part time working.
