Who You Work For
Tick HR is a HR Consultancy that supports businesses throughout the UK with a strong focus in Lincolnshire.
Our clients are often at different stages of growth and with different levels of HR maturity. You’ll be a trusted external partner, building credibility quickly, understanding what matters to each client, and helping them make confident, compliant people decisions.
Your Focus
Providing advice and deliverables across a diverse client base, differing in size and industry. The work is fast paced, varied and solutions driven, you’ll move between proactive HR projects (policies, audits, training, restructures) and reactive support (employee relations, urgent queries, risk management), consistently balancing best practice and employment law with what’s practical and achievable for the client.
Typical Characteristics:
Wide variety of issues across different industries, leadership styles, and risk appetites.
Heavy emphasis on client service – responsiveness, clarity, and confidence in advice.
More context-switching (multiple clients, multiple priorities).
You may deliver “best practice” recommendations, but the client ultimately decides whether/how to implement.
More likely to involve set deliverables (audits, policy packs, ER case support), sometimes with travel for key meetings.
What This Really Means:
You’ll need to get up to speed fast – quickly understand a client’s business model, culture, constraints, and risk tolerance, often with incomplete information at first.
You’ll be comfortable advising at different levels – one hour you’re coaching a Line Manager through an absence meeting, the next you’re briefing a MD on a redundancy process and risk.
Your output must be usable, not just correct – clear, jargon-free guidance; well-structured emails; practical templates; concise options with pros/cons and a recommended route.
You’ll protect the client (and Tick HR) through good judgement knowing when something is “routine” vs when it needs escalation, legal input, or a more cautious approach.
You’ll work to deadlines and scope – deliverables are often time-bound (e.g. policy suite by X date, audit report, training session, ER milestones), and you’ll manage expectations if timelines shift.
You’ll be comfortable with ambiguity and change – client priorities can change quickly; you’ll adapt without losing control of quality.
What’s In It For You:
Opportunity to work with a supportive and professional team.
Private Medical Insurance.
Enhanced holiday entitlement.
Opportunities to develop professionally and expand your HR skill set.
Varied and rewarding work across a diverse client base.
This role suits someone who enjoys variety, thrives on switching between clients and topics, and takes pride in giving clear, practical HR advice that Managers can act on immediately.
You’ll be comfortable operating as a trusted external partner, building relationships quickly, managing multiple priorities, and delivering solutions that are compliant, pragmatic and commercially aware
