Ever tried to keep employee relations consistent across a business that's acquiring companies faster than most policies can keep up? That's the reality for whoever joins us as Employee Relations Business Partner on a 10 to 11 month maternity cover contract, based at our St Mary's Axe office in London, working 3 days a week from the office. Reporting to the Senior Partner, Employee Relations, you'll cover London, the South East, South West & Thames Valley.
Lomond is one of the UK's largest & fastest growing property services groups, & growth at that pace puts real pressure on how consistently people are managed on the ground.

- Resolve complex employee relations cases fairly, compliantly & within agreed timescales, reducing risk to the business
- Lead disciplinary & grievance processes end to end, from investigation through to well-documented outcomes
- Manage long-term absence & capability cases in line with occupational health guidance & employment law
