HR Business Partner
Edinburgh | 6 Month FTC | Permanent Potential | Site-Based

We're working with a well known Edinburgh organisation going through an exciting period of growth and change. They're rebuilding their People function with real ambition, and this is a brilliant opportunity to join at an interesting time and make your mark.

This is a hands-on, employee relations focused role. You'll manage a varied ER caseload, support managers through complex people processes and contribute to a team that's actively building its capability and reputation across a large, multi-site, unionised workforce operating throughout the Lothians.

What you'll be doing:

• Managing a varied ER caseload covering disciplinary, grievance, absence, capability, conduct and appeal matters
• Providing clear, balanced and practical advice to managers, ensuring cases are handled fairly and consistently
• Supporting investigations, hearings and appeals, including preparing documentation and advising on process
• Coaching managers to address people issues confidently and at the earliest appropriate stage
• Building constructive relationships with trade union and employee representatives
• Identifying themes from casework and contributing to improvements in policy, process and manager guidance

What we're looking for:

• Solid experience managing ER cases in a busy, fast-paced or operational environment
• Good working knowledge of UK employment law, ACAS guidance and ER best practice
• Ability to interpret policy and give clear, proportionate advice under pressure
• Strong communication skills and confident stakeholder management at all levels
• CIPD Level 5 or equivalent relevant experience
• Experience in a unionised, multi-site or similarly complex setting is a real advantage

The role comes with a competitive package and a potential pathway to a permanent position for the right person.
