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

- Strong, hands-on experience managing complex UK employee relations cases independently.
- Experience covering disciplinary, grievance, capability, absence, reasonable adjustments and settlement processes.

- Strong knowledge of UK employment law, the Equality Act 2010 and ACAS guidance.
- Experience working within a commercially focused, fast-moving or matrix organisation.

- Excellent judgement and the ability to assess risk and provide practical recommendations.
- Strong organisational skills, with the ability to manage a varied caseload alongside competing deadlines.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, particularly when producing sensitive HR and consultation documentation.
- Experience working with HR data and using insights to identify trends and support decision-making.
- A pragmatic, solutions-focused approach and the ability to work effectively when situations are ambiguous or changing.
