Reporting to the HR Manager, you'll work alongside an established TUPE Officer, playing a key role in managing a high volume of TUPE transfers in and out of the business.
The Role
This is a specialist HR role focused on TUPE, working within a business that regularly wins and loses large-scale contracts. The volume and pace are significant, making this an ideal opportunity for someone who thrives in a busy, commercially driven environment.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Managing TUPE transfers from start to finish across multiple projects.
- Preparing and reviewing Employee Liability Information (ELI).
- Liaising with Contract Managers and key stakeholders throughout the TUPE process.
- Ensuring employee relations matters are accurately reflected within ELI documentation.

About You
We're looking for someone who enjoys working at pace and can confidently manage multiple priorities.
You'll ideally have:
- At least 2 years' HR experience, including significant exposure to TUPE.
- Previous experience as an HR Advisor or similar generalist HR role with regular TUPE involvement.
- Strong understanding of UK TUPE legislation and practical application.
- Employee Relations experience would be highly advantageous.
- Experience working within a large, fast-paced commercial organisation, ideally where TUPE projects are frequent.
- Excellent organisational and stakeholder management skills.
- CIPD Level 3-5 qualification (minimum Level 3 required).
- A full UK driving licence and access to a car, as the office has very limited public transport links.
What's on Offer?
- Salary of £40,000 per annum.
- Opportunity to join a nationally recognised facilities management business.
- Exposure to high-profile, high-volume TUPE projects.
- A collaborative HR team with excellent opportunities to further develop your specialist TUPE expertise.
- Immediate impact in a role where no two days are the same.
