Description

The role

Our HR team is extremely busy and is seeking an immediately available senior HR professional to provide some additional support on a short term basis. We expect this to be around 6 months in duration, but it might be extended.



The role will involve a range of day to day HR tasks - from dealing with more delicate or complex enquiries and casework, guiding less experienced team members, and acting as their escalation point for technical queries, oversight and more complex issues. Reporting into the Head of HR, you'll help free up her time from too much operational work. You'll be dealing with a sophisticated internal client base who expect a high level of service.



It's a hands-on role and it's anticipated that the casework and other tasks will take up at least 70% of your time. In addition, the team has plenty of project and development work and there will certainly be opportunities to get involved in some of this.

About you

We need someone who can make an immediate impact, so fairly recent experience of HR work in a UK law firm is essential. You'll have worked at a manager or senior HRBP level for several years and have a strong knowledge of UK employment law and experience gained across the full employee life cycle.



You'll be experienced in handling challenging ER issues and able to act as a technical specialist in the team.



...and you'll be ready and keen to start at short notice!
