  • Supporting complex cases such as family leave, flexible working, and long-term absence
  • Managing workplace investigations and hearings where required
  • Driving best practice and early intervention to reduce ER escalation
  • Monitoring case trends and providing insight to support decision-making
  • Ensuring all casework and documentation meets GDPR and legal standards
  • Supporting policy development and keeping the business up to date with employment legislation
  • Partnering with People Development to promote learning and engagement initiatives
  • Contributing to wider People Team projects and continuous improvement activity

  • CIPD Level 3 minimum (Level 5 preferred)
  • Proven experience managing end-to-end ER casework
  • Strong knowledge of UK employment law, particularly the Employment Rights Act
  • Experience advising and influencing managers at all levels
