We are recruiting an HR Advisor for a specialist team providing outsourced HR and employee relations support to a diverse portfolio of clients across a wide range of sectors.

• Has the ability to work calmly, even under pressure 
• Takes personal pride in their work and responsibility for issues  
• Has a nurturing and supportive approach to relevant team members 
• Takes ownership and responsibility for issues 
•  Maintains appropriate client contact  

Essential qualities required for the post of HR Advisor:

•  A CIPD Level 5 qualified HR Case Advisor with 3+ years’ PQE with strong Employee Relations Experience
