  • Support and lead sensitive and high-risk cases, including those involving misconduct, discrimination or regulatory considerations
  • Conduct thorough ER investigations, including evidence gathering, interviews and outcome reporting
  • Ensure all documentation is accurate, consistent, and audit-ready within a regulated environment
  • Coach and guide managers to build confidence and capability in handling people issues effectively
  • Contribute to ER-related training, including investigations, performance management and dignity at work
  • Support consistent application and interpretation of HR policies and procedures
  • Contribute to ER insights, trend analysis and continuous improvement initiatives

About You

  • Graduate calibre with part or full CIPD qualification preferred
  • Proven experience managing a broad range of ER cases in a complex, regulated or professional services environment
  • Strong working knowledge of UK employment law and ER best practice
  • Confident advisor with the ability to handle sensitive and complex matters with sound judgment
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder-management skills
  • Highly organised with strong attention to detail and documentation standards
  • Comfortable managing competing priorities in a fast-paced environment
  • Collaborative and improvement-focused, with a proactive and solution-oriented approach

Why Apply?

  • Opportunity to work within a respected international professional services environment
  • Exposure to complex ER work and senior stakeholder engagement
  • Hybrid and agile working model
  • Supportive, inclusive culture with a focus on wellbeing and development
  • Chance to influence ER best practice and contribute to meaningful HR initiatives
