This is a unique and exciting opportunity to join our supportive and close-knit team.

Alternatively, you may already work for a consultancy and be looking to move to a smaller, growing business with lots of room to grow and develop.

- Working with clients to continuously improve their current HR set ups by recommending and assisting with implementing solutions, changes and practical tools to help them grow.
- Helping our clients to build inclusive, welcoming and values driven cultures and working environments.
- Mentoring and supporting the development of line managers, acting as first point of contact for HR queries and on management support and advice.
- Prepare documentation on behalf of clients to support internal processes such as onboarding, appraisals, probation, absence management, employee relations cases, benefits administration, employment contracts, and offboarding processes.
- Prepare, review and refresh template client toolkits and documentation.

**About You**
