- Coordinate and support case review meetings, legal briefings and tribunal preparation sessions, ensuring actions and follow-ups are clearly documented.
- Prepare case summaries, management information and regular reports for senior stakeholders.
- Monitor and report on caseload activity, case outcomes, risks, trends and associated costs.
- Identify recurring themes and lessons learned from tribunal cases and contribute to improvements in employee relations processes and case management.
- Build effective relationships across the organisation to support a consistent, professional and well-governed approach to employment disputes.
