Managing a varied ER caseload including disciplinary, grievance, sickness absence and performance matters

Providing clear, pragmatic and legally compliant HR advice to line managers

Coaching and supporting managers through formal processes and meetings

Working with Trade Union representatives on case-related matters

Ensuring HR policies and procedures are applied consistently and fairly

Supporting a people-focused approach while balancing operational needs

Experience dealing with Trade Union representatives and complex ER cases

High levels of resilience and professionalism
