The Opportunity

We’re looking for an experienced and proactive People Advisor to join our People team on a 12-month fixed-term contract.

This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys tackling complex people challenges, building relationships and making a real difference to the business.

Employee Relations will be a key focus, with responsibility for managing a varied and often complex caseload, including a significant number of long-term sickness cases. You'll be a trusted adviser to managers and colleagues, providing practical advice, navigating sensitive situations and helping managers make confident decisions.

But this role is about more than managing cases. We want someone who can look beyond the immediate issue, use people data to identify trends and themes, and turn those insights into meaningful improvements. You'll have the opportunity to influence how we work, strengthen our people practices and help the business take a more proactive approach to people management.

You'll need to be comfortable working autonomously, using your judgement and balancing strategic thinking with a hands-on approach. One day you might be analysing trends or influencing senior stakeholders; the next, supporting a complex investigation or coaching a manager through a difficult conversation.

About You

You'll be an experienced ER or People professional who is confident working autonomously, navigating complexity and thriving in a fast-paced environment.

You'll bring strong Employee Relations experience, a sound understanding of UK employment legislation and the confidence to manage a high-volume caseload, including complex and sensitive matters.

Above all, we're looking for someone who is pragmatic, commercially minded and solutions-focused. Someone who enjoys getting into the detail, uses their initiative, challenges constructively and looks beyond the immediate issue to find better ways of working.
