Job Description

HR Professionals of Lancashire & the Northwest region... Assemble!

Location:

Somewhere fabulous in Lancashire (with travel to client sites across the northwest region)

Employer:

AfterAthena (part of the Napthens Group)

We have created a new role for a

Consultant HR Business Partner

who's got more knowledge than ChatGPT and more strategic thinking than a game of celebrity Traitors!

What we're looking for:

You speak fluent TUPE and can handle union consultations without breaking a sweat. You manage projects like a ninja and know the employee lifecycle better than your Netflix history. You don't just understand employment law, you have the ability to apply it in practice. You're confident, proactive, and not afraid to say, "Actually, I disagree..." (politely, of course). You've got CIPD Level 7 or you're working on it like it's your side hustle. You can influence stakeholders, deliver training, and still make it home in time for Bake Off.

What you'll be doing:

Auditing HR like Sherlock Holmes with a spreadsheet. Delivering strategic HR support that makes clients say, "Wow, you're good." Educating, mentoring, and occasionally dazzling clients with your HR wizardry. Representing AfterAthena at events -- yes, there may be brews, cake and biscuits involved.

?

Who you are:

A strategic thinker with a commercial edge. A relationship-builder with charm and a touch of sass. A multitasker who can juggle priorities like a circus performer (minus the clown shoes). A discreet, trustworthy HR pro who knows when to speak and when to just raise an eyebrow.

Why AfterAthena?

The strength and resources of a leading law firm with a close-knit team environment.

Supportive and collaborative culture where your contribution is valued.

Clear opportunities for career progression and professional development.

A forward-thinking workplace where your expertise makes an impact.

? Genuine work-life balance supported by hybrid working.

AfterAthena is the HR, employment law, and health & safety division of Napthens Group.


We combine modern technology alongside a people-first approach to deliver employment law advice that is practical, commercial and client-focused.


We're client-centric, value-driven, and we don't charge London prices for Lancashire brilliance.
