Blackburn, Blackburn with Darwen, United Kingdom Napthens Full time

HR Professionals of Lancashire & the Northwest region... Assemble

Location: Somewhere fabulous in Lancashire (with travel to client sites across the northwest region)

Employer: AfterAthena (part of the Napthens Group)

We have created a new role for a Consultant HR Business Partner who's got more knowledge than ChatGPT and more strategic thinking than a game of celebrity Traitors

What we're looking for:

  • You speak fluent TUPE and can handle union consultations without breaking a sweat.
  • You manage projects like a ninja and know the employee lifecycle better than your Netflix history.
  • You don't just understand employment law, you have the ability to apply it in practice.
  • You're confident, proactive, and not afraid to say, "Actually, I disagree…" (politely, of course).
  • You've got CIPD Level 7 or you're working on it like it's your side hustle.
  • You can influence stakeholders, deliver training, and still make it home in time for Bake Off.

What you'll be doing:

  • Auditing HR like Sherlock Holmes with a spreadsheet.
  • Delivering strategic HR support that makes clients say, "Wow, you're good."
  • Educating, mentoring, and occasionally dazzling clients with your HR wizardry.

  • Representing AfterAthena at events — yes, there may be brews, cake and biscuits involved.

  • Who you are:

  • A strategic thinker with a commercial edge.

  • A relationship-builder with charm and a touch of sass.
  • A multitasker who can juggle priorities like a circus performer (minus the clown shoes).
  • A discreet, trustworthy HR pro who knows when to speak and when to just raise an eyebrow.

Why AfterAthena?

The strength and resources of a leading law firm with a close-knit team environment.

Supportive and collaborative culture where your contribution is valued.

Clear opportunities for career progression and professional development.

A forward-thinking workplace where your expertise makes an impact.

  • Genuine work-life balance supported by hybrid working.

AfterAthena is the HR, employment law, and health & safety division of Napthens Group.

We combine modern technology alongside a people-first approach to deliver employment law advice that is practical, commercial and client-focused.

We're client-centric, value-driven, and we don't charge London prices for Lancashire brilliance.
