Employee Relations and Projects Lead
Hybrid (minimum monthly meet up in Sevenoaks)
At The Fractional HR Department, we provide practical, flexible HR support for small businesses and growing teams, giving them the expertise they need without the cost of a full time hire. Our approach is simple, human and effective: clear advice, no nonsense processes and HR that genuinely helps businesses grow.
We're now looking for an ER and Projects Lead, someone who can confidently handle a broad range of employee relations work while shaping and delivering HR projects for SME clients. If you enjoy fast moving environments, bringing structure to evolving situations, and building strong, warm client relationships, you'll feel right at home.
What you'll be doing- Lead on employee relations for your own SME clients - provide clear, practical, legally compliant advice across disciplinaries, grievances, sickness, performance, redundancies and general HR queries.
- Prepare scopes, quotes and delivery plans that are realistic, commercially aware and aligned with our straightforward approach to HR.
- Deliver and shape HR projects - from policy updates to small scale restructures and process improvements.
- Refine and maintain our HR tools - keep templates and resources updated and continue developing them in line with our brand.
- Build strong, human client relationships - most contact will be remote, so clarity, warmth and reliability are essential.
- Shape and strengthen our PAYG service line - work closely with the founder to refine processes, ensure consistent delivery, coordinate Associates where needed and contribute ideas as the service grows.
- As this offer grows, there is potential to build and lead your own team of Advisors and Associates, giving you a clear path for influence, ownership and progression.
- Design and deliver practical HR training - manager focused webinars on topics such as absence, investigations, performance and disciplinaries, grounded in real world SME challenges and UK employment law.
You'll thrive with us if you:
- Have solid UK generalist HR experience with SMEs
- Bring strong ER experience and enjoy leading on cases
- Can deliver clear, structured advice even when things feel ambiguous
- Have good commercial instincts and can shape scopes and quotes confidently
- Communicate clearly and professionally, with warmth and human tone
- Can manage multiple priorities without losing your calm
- Enjoy working independently but value collaboration and shared standards
- Are confident designing and delivering training
- Experience in a consultancy is a bonus but not essential

Our standard working pattern for this role is Monday to Friday.
