You will have a high standard of written documentation and previous experience of producing professional, succinct and robust letters, meeting notes, case documentation and reports to be used in formal meetings; excellent attention to detail is required.

You will ideally have achieved or be working towards Graduate membership of the CIPD or have equivalent professional experience.

Excellent relationship building, communication skills and a strong positive team ethic are all essential requirements for this role. As the Regional HR Case Advisor, you will attend formal case hearings and will be accountable to prepare, support, direct and coach managers through the hearing process in line with Company policy, guidelines, best practice and employment law requirements.
