Employee Relations Specialist – People Policies and Processes

Manchester

Salary up to £57,700

Permanent

We're partnering with a well-respected organisation that's investing in a modern, people-first culture — and we're looking for an experienced Employee Relations Specialist to help make it happen.

This is a standout role for someone who loves being at the intersection of people, policy, and progress. You'll be a go-to expert on all things ER — from developing best-in-class policies to guiding ER change projects and managing the Group's ER systems and frameworks.

What you'll be doing

  • Lead policy development:
    design, review, and modernise Group People Policies, processes and toolkits to keep them compliant, relevant and inclusive.
  • Advise and influence:
    provide expert ER guidance to leaders and People Partners, helping navigate organisational change and complex ER matters.
  • Own key relationships:
    manage the external provider for the Group ER Case Management System, ensuring smooth operation and continuous improvement.
  • Collaborate widely:
    work with Trade Unions, Internal Comms, and Colleague Networks to implement change that lands well across the business.
  • Drive improvement:
    keep pace with employment law developments, benchmark externally, and identify ways to strengthen ER practice and policy governance.
  • Support at Group level:
    assist the Associate Director of Industrial Relations with union engagement and initiatives such as modern slavery compliance.

What we're looking for

  • Strong Employee Relations background in a complex, multi-site or unionised environment.
  • Solid grasp of UK employment law and policy frameworks.
  • Proven ability to influence senior stakeholders and deliver pragmatic solutions.
  • A proactive, improvement-focused mindset with the confidence to challenge where needed.
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to balance legal, commercial, and human considerations.

Why this opportunity stands out

You'll be joining a progressive organisation that values expertise, autonomy, and fresh thinking. ER here is seen as a strategic enabler — and you'll have the platform to make a real difference across the business.

If you're an ER professional who thrives on shaping policy, guiding change, and building constructive relationships — we'd love to talk

Apply now to be considered for becoming part of this fantastic organisation.
