HR Consultant

**Job Share - 3 days a week (Wednesday, Thursday and Friday)**
**Salary circa £30,000 pro rata (full time equivalent £50,000)**
**Home and/or Sevenoaks office based**
We’re not your typical HR Consultants. We work collaboratively with small businesses across a variety of
sectors to provide outsourced HR support. Our clients think of us as an extension of their team so you get to build great working relationships, just like you would in an inhouse role. We don’t only advise our clients, we also get to do the work, this makesour roles truly generalist. That might mean you are focussing on recruitment one day and change management, employee relations or reward the next. Our clients are entrepreneurs and creative thinkers so we are ready to push the boundaries of traditional HRapproaches, while still keeping their practices legally compliant.
You're a HR professional who has a thorough grounding in employee relations work. This is important because although we don’t do a huge amount of employee relations work, you must have the experience and confidence to deal with those issues if they do arise.You will have great stakeholder management skills along with an interest (and preferably some experience) in working on a wide variety of HR projects.
Our office is in Sevenoaks but we support clients across greater London and are working on expanding into the surrounding counties. To complement our existing consulting team you would ideally live in Surrey, Hampshire, Sussex or Essex, within an easy commuteto London and the Sevenoaks office, where we meet as a team each month.
The role is a job share so you will share a client load with your colleague who also works 3 days a week. This makes this role a genuine part time opportunity, so there will be no expectation that you will work on your days off, unless you choose to flex yourhours.
