Job Description

HR Consultant / HR Specialist / HR Advisor / People Advisor / HR Generalist / Employee Relations Advisor

After Athena HR Consultancy

Full time permanent, hybrid working with some regional travel

Lancashire Offices in Blackburn, Preston, and Lytham. Merseyside offices in Liverpool and Southport.

Are you an experienced HR professional who thrives in fast-paced environments and enjoys tackling complex employee relations matters head-on? We're looking for someone who brings confidence, sound judgment, and a calm, practical approach to challenging situations.



In this role, you'll be providing independent, impartial HR support to a range of clients--often onsite--guiding them through sensitive and complex ER issues.


You'll be expected to step in as a trusted advisor, sometimes in a supporting capacity and at other times as the key decision-maker. Your ability to assess situations objectively and apply policy with clarity and consistency will be essential.



You'll also be responsible for delivering training to management teams, helping to build their confidence and capability in handling people matters effectively. While the core of the role is ER-focused, there will be opportunities to contribute to wider HR projects that support the employee lifecycle.



If you've previously worked as an external advisor or in a shared services or case management role, and you're looking for a role where your experience and independence are truly valued, we'd love to hear from you.


You'll need to be diplomatic, resilient, and comfortable working with clients at all levels--always maintaining a professional distance while building strong working relationships.



For more information or an informal confidential conversation about the role, contact Daniel on 07425 797 217 (Call, Text, or WhatsApp).
