Are you an experienced HR professional who enjoys tackling complex matters head on?

To be clear this is not an in house HR role.

In this role, you'll be providing independent, impartial HR support to a range of clients-often onsite-guiding them through sensitive and complex ER issues.

You bring confidence, sound judgment, and a calm, practical approach to challenging situations.

You'll be a trusted advisor, sometimes in a supporting capacity and at other times as the key decision maker. Your ability to assess situations objectively and apply policy with clarity and consistency will be essential.

You can also get involved in delivering training to management teams, helping to build their confidence and capability in handling people matters effectively. While the core of the role is ER focused, there will be opportunities to contribute to wider HR projects that support the employee lifecycle.

If you've previously worked as an external advisor or in a shared services or case management role, and you're looking for a role where your experience and independence are truly valued, we'd love to hear from you.

Any accreditations for things like mediation or coaching would also be advantageous.

You are someone who is diplomatic, resilient, and comfortable working with clients at all levels-always maintaining a professional distance while building strong working relationships. We also think a sense of humour is an essential ingredient in this HR recipe.

The majority of our team are based in Lancashire and now we are looking to expand our presence in Merseyside.
