**Your role**:
These are exciting times for Greater Manchester Combined Authority. With a clear vision of delivering exemplary services, the organisation takes great pride in its accomplishments and the development of people is critical to its success.

Over the last five years the organisation has seen unprecedented changes. Our People Services team has been instrumental in supporting the organisation to adapt to hybrid working, developing skills required to navigate new digital systems, helping managers lead their teams remotely, providing enhanced health and wellbeing interventions and a varied learning and development offer to the organisation.

You will advise on a range of employee relations activities including employee relations cases and departmental change initiatives. You will act as a coach to department managers by sharing your employee relations expertise and best practice, in order to fully embed the key initiative to ensure fairness and compassionate approaches to individuals.

You will also monitor and use performance data to inform and drive change.

Due to the nature of the role, you could be required to work from a variety of locations including Greater Manchester Fire Headquarters in Swinton, Tootal Building in Manchester City Centre as well as a number of Fire Stations across your Business Partner service delivery area.

As an employee relations specialist you will have experience of supporting with a full range of casework including attendance management, capability and disciplinary. You will have experience of supporting with organisational change processes. You will be a tenacious and resilient individual with the ability to communicate effectively and work to tight deadlines under pressure.
