  • Support managers with sensitive casework, ensuring fair and consistent outcomes.
  • Promote a culture of trust, inclusion, and psychological safety.
  • Ensure compliance with employment law and sector-specific regulations.
  • Help shape policies that reflect the needs of the service and community.

What you'll bring:

  • Proven experience in an employee relations or HR advisory role, ideally within social care, education, or a regulated environment.

  • Strong knowledge of UK employment law and HR policies.

  • Excellent communication, coaching, and interpersonal skills.
  • Ability to manage sensitive and emotionally complex situations with discretion and care.
  • CIPD qualification (or working towards) is desirable.

What We Offer:

  • Career Development: Multiple career paths, recognising hard work and supporting you into senior roles.
  • Wellbeing: Access to counselling service via Medicash.
  • Bonuses: £200 (2 years), £400 (5 years), and £ years) service awards, plus up to £500 special recognition award for outstanding performance.
  • Awards: Win up to £150 in vouchers every month from our REACH Awards.
  • MediCash: Cashback for medical appointments and treatments, including optical and dental.
  • Life Assurance: 3x annual salary after successful completion of probation.
  • Increased Holiday: 25 days annual leave, rising to 28 days within 4 years, plus all bank holidays.
  • Birthday Day: additional day's leave for your birthday.
  • Health and Wellbeing Day: because sometimes we all need to re-charge
  • Festive Shopping Half Day: to help you get ready for your chosen celebration.
  • Volunteering Day: to support a charity of your choice giving something back to a worthy cause.
