In this role, you'll support and manage a portfolio of retained and project-based clients, providing practical, tailored HR advice and documentation across a broad range of generalist HR matters. From employee relations and organisational change to policy development and performance support, you'll help clients confidently navigate people challenges while delivering commercially focused and legally compliant solutions.

What we're looking for

We're looking for a friendly, knowledgeable, and proactive HR Consultant to join our growing team. You'll be the go to expert for a portfolio of clients, offering practical, tailored advice across a wide range of HR matters including employee relations, absence management, disciplinary and grievance processes, organisational change, redundancy, and family friendly rights.

You'll support clients with everything from drafting contracts, policies, and staff handbooks to calculating holiday and redundancy entitlements, conducting investigations, supporting hearings, and delivering training where required. No two days are the same, and you'll work closely with colleagues to ensure we continue delivering excellent service, even during busy periods or when colleagues are away.

This is a brilliant opportunity to build trusted relationships with clients and genuinely make an impact within their organisations. You'll also contribute to account management, process improvements, and promoting the wider range of WorkNest and Axiom GRC services where appropriate.

You'll be encouraged to continue growing professionally through ongoing learning and development, with plenty of support from a warm, collaborative team that shares knowledge and celebrates success together.

If you're passionate about HR, enjoy variety in your work, and thrive in a fast paced, people focused environment, this could be the perfect next step in your career.
