We're growing and we're looking for a skilled, experienced HR Investigations Specialist to join our bank team.
About Marches HR
Marches HR is a multi-award-winning, founder-led HR consultancy. Our investigations work sits apart from our generalist HR support... it's predominantly for public and not-for-profit sector clients, including organisations working with children, young people and adults at risk / vulnerable adults.
About the Role
This is dedicated investigations work... leading cases from scoping through to a robust, evidence-based report, on misconduct, bullying and harassment, grievances, whistleblowing and other sensitive complaints. These are rarely clear-cut. Competing accounts, safeguarding considerations, power dynamics and difficult judgement calls are the norm... no smoking gun, just careful, fair weighing of credibility and evidence.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What We're Looking For
You'll thrive here if you're:
- A proven, hands-on investigator - with a track record other HR and legal professionals, and the leaders you've worked with, can vouch for
- Ideally backed by a recognised investigative practice qualification
- A skilled investigative interviewer and confident report writer, producing findings that stand up to internal and external scrutiny
- Objective and evidence-led, while truly mindful of everyone's wellbeing, with a trauma-informed approach
- An established HR or legal professional with real specialism in investigations and a solid grasp of the employment law context around them
- Experienced with regulated professionals and/or safeguarding-sensitive cases - this is a strong plus
The Details
- Zero hours worker arrangement - accept or decline cases as they come
- No guaranteed hours; clients typically need a response within a week of a case arising, so this suits someone who can start work on a case at short notice
- A typical case runs to around 40 hours over 4 - 8 weeks (sometimes more for complex cases) - you'll need real capacity to flex significant hours into that window, not just scattered availability
- Prep and report-writing can flex around early mornings, evenings or weekends; interviews and client-facing work sit within normal business hours
- Predominantly remote (around 90% of investigations run via video call) but you'll need your own vehicle for occasional in-person meetings, hearings or office visits
- Clients are based across England and Wales; some cases require attendance at a hearing, regulatory proceeding or tribunal as investigating officer
