Senior HR Consultant
Hybrid | 3 days office-based + client sites
Morgan Philips is delighted to be exclusively representing a growing and ambitious HR consultancy in the search for a high-calibre Senior HR Consultant to join their high-performing team.
This is a fast-paced, client-facing role for a commercially minded HR professional who can operate with a high degree of autonomy. You’ll be expected to lead complex employee relations work end-to-end, provide clear and confident advice to senior stakeholders, and balance legal risk with pragmatic, business-focused outcomes.
The Role
- Deliver a high-quality outsourced HR service to a diverse portfolio of clients
- Act as a trusted advisor to business owners, directors, and senior leaders, confidently influencing decisions
- Lead complex, high-risk ER casework end-to-end, including disciplinaries, grievances, capability, absence, redundancies, restructures, and TUPE
- Take full ownership of cases, including strategy, decision-making, and outcomes, rather than purely supporting or advising
- Provide clear, legally sound, and commercially pragmatic advice, identifying risks and recommending appropriate actions
- Lead redundancy processes, including design, consultation, pooling, scoring methodology, and managing challenge
- Navigate complex cases involving overlapping risks (e.g., performance, health conditions, potential discrimination)
- Manage a varied caseload, often handling multiple concurrent ER matters with differing levels of complexity and risk
- Prepare high-quality documentation including outcome letters, reports, and policies
- Attend client sites regularly, embedding yourself within client environments where required
- Support wider HR activity including organisational change, performance management, engagement, and talent initiatives
- Contribute to business development, client proposals, and presentations
- Mentor and support more junior team members
- Deliver training to clients and stay ahead of UK employment law developments

- Experience leading or playing a key role in redundancy programmes, with a clear understanding of your personal accountability
- Able to balance legal compliance with commercial outcomes, particularly when advising senior stakeholders
