About the role

Join a supportive and collaborative HR team where you’ll focus on delivering efficient, consistent and legally compliant HR advisory support across a high volume of day-to-day employee matters, including recruitment, absence, disciplinary and probation cases. You’ll work closely with managers to provide clear, practical guidance, take ownership of routine case management, and ensure accurate records and processes are maintained for your assigned client group. As a key member of the wider HR function, you’ll also support senior colleagues on broader people initiatives – helping to deliver policy improvements and organisational change activity – while contributing to a positive, inclusive and customer-focused workplace.

This is an exciting time to be joining us as we roll out our ‘People Focused’ people strategy, while also playing a key role at the forefront of implementing the impact of the employment Rights Act 2025 – the most significant piece of employment legislation in over a decade. Alongside this, the evolving local government landscape brings further opportunity to develop your experience, particularly in supporting organisational change.
