**Are you passionate about fostering a positive and progressive Employee Relations culture?**
- If you excel in providing professional support and guidance in ER matters, we have an exciting opportunity for you as an Employee Relations Advisor. Join our dynamic team and contribute to the enhancement of our workforce relations across our network.
- In your role as an Employee Relations Advisor, you'll be at the forefront of fostering positive workplace relations within our organisation. Your main responsibilities include providing guidance on policies and procedures, facilitating productive Employee Council meetings, and supporting local managers in maintaining satisfactory industrial relations.

Additionally, you'll build and maintain relationships with trade union representatives, serving as a conduit for constructive dialogue and collaboration. Your proactive approach and interpersonal skills will be crucial in promoting a harmonious work environment and ensuring the wellbeing of our employees.
- If this sounds like your thing, we’d love to hear from you.

**Key responsibilities**:

- This is a varied and challenging role, but here is a taste of what your day-to-day activities could include:

- Act as the main liaison between the ER and People Advisory Services teams.
- Provide guidance on policy interpretation and case management.
- Facilitate Employee Council meetings and manage agendas and minutes.
- Support local managers in maintaining satisfactory IR.
- Build and maintain relationships with Trade Union representatives.
- Assist in delivering training on policies and procedures.

**About you**:

- We're seeking a dedicated professional with a passion for fostering positive workplace relations. Your role demands not only a deep understanding of employee relations principles but also the ability to effectively navigate complex organizational dynamics.
- We’re also looking for the following:

- Experience in providing support for front-line managers.
- Strong understanding of policy interpretation and terms and conditions.
- Experience in a unionised environment is desirable.
- Proficiency in minute/note taking.
- Associate Membership of CIPD or working towards qualification.

Your success in this role hinges not only on your technical expertise but also on your interpersonal skills - tenacious, adaptability, conscientiousness and problem solving. You should be adept at building and maintaining relationships with stakeholders across all levels of the organisation, from front-line managers to trade union representatives. Your ability to communicate effectively and empathetically will be instrumental in fostering trust and collaboration, ultimately contributing to a positive and harmonious work environment.

**Our Benefits**:

- Because we value our people and reward hard work, we’ve created a benefits package that we think you’ll love. So, you’ll be able to make the most of:

- Opportunities to progress and grow - including comprehensive training schemes and a range of online learning courses.
- Agile working for non-train crew - many of our roles can now be based at both home and the office, which is great if you are looking for flexibility.
- Cycle to Work Scheme - save up to 42% on the cost of a bike, while also spreading your payments throughout the year.
- Free Travel on Northern services - everyone who works at Northern, plus their partners/spouses and dependents, can travel for free right across our full network of services. *Certain eligibility criteria will apply.
- 75% discount with other Train Operating Companies - after 2 years with us, you’ll also get discounted travel on many other rail services in the UK and Europe.
- Defined Benefit Pension Scheme - you’ll rarely find a pension as good as a Northern pension, and we top up your pension with a generous 1.5 times your contribution.
- Maternity and Paternity Benefits - we go above and beyond the standard, and mums can enjoy 9 months’ maternity leave on full pay while dads can make the most of 2 weeks’ paternity leave on full pay.
- Employee Assistance Programme - advice, support and useful information 24 hours a day, 365 days a year on everything from family issues to lifestyle matters.
- Exclusive benefits with Northern Perks - enjoy retail discounts, instant vouchers, cashback, wellbeing support and much more.
- Holiday Purchase Scheme - if you join us at Manager or Executive level or above, you can use your salary to buy up to 5 additional days of annual leave each year.
