About the Role

We're looking for an experienced Employee Relations Advisor to join a close-knit, dedicated ER team. You'll manage your own caseload of disciplinaries, investigations and grievances, while also collaborating closely with colleagues on shared priorities. This is a great opportunity for someone who can think independently, use sound judgement, and work confidently with stakeholders at all levels.

You'll be part of a small, focused team of 7 (including 3 Advisors), working exclusively on ER matters in a dedicated office space — giving you the chance to really specialise and develop deep expertise in employee relations.

What You'll Be Doing

• Managing your own portfolio of disciplinary, investigation and grievance cases from start to finish
• Providing clear, practical ER advice to managers and colleagues across the business
• Working collaboratively within a small team, sharing knowledge and supporting one another on complex cases
• Building strong working relationships with stakeholders across multiple well-known client sites (including major UK retailers)
• Ensuring all case work is handled fairly, consistently, and in line with policy and current employment legislation
• Identifying risk and offering practical, commercially-minded solutions

What We're Looking For

• Solid experience handling ER casework (disciplinaries, grievances, investigations)
• Ability to work independently and use your own initiative, while also being a strong team player
• Excellent communication skills and confidence dealing with a range of colleagues and managers
• A proactive, adaptable approach — no two cases are the same, and there's plenty of variety in this role
• CIPD level 3 qualification (or working towards) desirable

What's On Offer

• Salary up to £32,000
• Fully funded CIPD Level 5 qualification , including paid time off to study
• A supportive, close-knit team environment
• Office-based role with a real sense of team identity
• Genuine variety of casework and exposure to a broad range of ER issues across multiple client sites
