Contract: 3 months, with potential for a permanent opportunity
Day Rate: £200-£400 per day via Umbrella company, dependent on relevant experience
Start Date: ASAP - ideally by the end of August, latest 7 September

Are you an experienced Employee Relations Specialist who thrives in a fast-paced, complex organisation? Do you have strong ER case management experience, including complex cases, and a good understanding of Workday?

We are recruiting for a hands-on Employee Relations Specialist to join a large, international technology and professional services organisation with approximately 2,000 employees in the UK and 15,000 globally.

This is an exciting opportunity to join an established HR team of around 20 people and play a key role within a busy HR Shared Services environment. The organisation has a fast-paced, sales-driven culture, so experience of working in a large and complex environment with multiple stakeholders is essential.

The Role

This is a hands-on, non-managerial position suited to an experienced HR/ER professional. In consultancy terms, we're looking for someone operating at Senior Consultant level rather than Manager level.

You don't need previous leadership or management experience. Instead, you'll need to be confident managing a busy ER caseload independently, dealing with complex employee matters and working effectively in a fast-paced, commercially focused environment.

You'll work closely with managers and stakeholders, providing practical and knowledgeable advice across a range of employee relations matters while ensuring cases are managed consistently and in line with UK employment legislation.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage a high-volume Employee Relations caseload from start to finish
• Handle ER cases (occasionally complex), including disciplinary, grievance, performance and absence matters
• Provide practical, confident advice to managers and stakeholders
• Support performance management and absence management processes
• Review and interpret changes to employment legislation and assess their impact on the organisation
• Support TUPE activity and associated employee relations matters
• Manage and respond to queries through ServiceNow, the organisation's HR ticketing system
• Use Workday as the core HRIS and support the creation, review and implementation of HR templates
• Review and improve HR processes, documentation and templates
• Work collaboratively within the wider HR Shared Services function
• Build effective relationships across a large and complex organisation
• Manage competing priorities effectively in a fast-paced environment

Essential Experience:

The key experience we're looking for is:

1. Strong ER Case Management Experience
You must have substantial experience managing ER cases independently, with experience handling complex ER matters being a major advantage.

2. Workday Experience
Previous experience using Workday is essential. This is the organisation's core HRIS platform.

3. TUPE Experience
You'll need practical experience of supporting or managing TUPE processes.

4. Large, Complex Organisation Experience
Experience working within a large and complex organisation is essential. International organisation experience would be a significant advantage. Experience within a large organisation of several hundred employees or more is preferred.

You'll also ideally have:

• Experience working within a fast-paced, commercially focused environment
• Strong performance and absence management experience
• Experience within technology, professional services, sales or another similarly fast-paced environment is useful, although sector background is less important than organis

Age UK is an Equal Opportunities employer and positively encourages applications from suitably qualified and eligible candidates, regardless of age, sex, race, disability, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, religion or belief, marital/civil partnership status, or pregnancy and maternity. Age UK is a Disability Confident Scheme employer. Due to high numbers of applications received, Age UK reserves the right to limit the overall number of interviews offered, and therefore, it may not always be practicable or appropriate to interview all disabled people that meet the minimum criteria for the job.

Reasonable adjustments

Disabled job seekers can access reasonable adjustments at any stage of the recruitment process. All requests for reasonable adjustments are considered on a case-by-case basis, in collaboration with the disabled job seeker to best meet their needs, by contacting the Recruitment Team. Disability disclosures will be kept confidential and only shared on a need-to-know basis to support the implementation of adjustments. Disclosures will not be used to inform hiring decisions.

Age UK is committed to safeguarding adults at risk, and children, from abuse and neglect. We expect everyone who works with us to share this commitment.

Early application is encouraged as we will review applications throughout the advertising period and reserve the right to close the advert at any time.

Age UK politely requests no contact from recruitment agencies or media sales. We do not accept speculative CVs from recruitment agencies nor accept the fees associated with them.
