At Care Concern Group, people are at the heart of everything we do. As one of the UK’s fastest-growing family-run care providers, with over 130 homes and counting, we’re proud of our reputation for delivering high-quality care and even prouder of the incredible teams who make it possible.
We’re looking for a Human Resources Advisor to join our HR team and play a pivotal role in driving best practice across employee relations, retention, and engagement. This is more than an HR role, it’s your chance to make a real difference, empowering managers, supporting colleagues, and helping shape a culture where people truly thrive.
Why this role matters
Reporting to one of our HR Business Partners in England, you’ll be the go-to person for employee relations across the remit of homes that the HR Business Partner supports, guiding leaders through complex cases, embedding our values, and ensuring our teams feel supported, respected, and heard. You’ll also play a key part in exciting HR initiatives, from change programmes to engagement surveys, helping us continually improve the way we care for both our residents and our people.
What you’ll be doing
* Act as the first point of contact for all employee relations matters; disciplinaries, grievances, performance, and absence management.
* Partner with managers across multiple sites, coaching and advising on HR/ER issues including TUPE transfers and complex cases.
* Build strong, trusted relationships with stakeholders, championing our values across the region.
* Support HR clinics, open-door sessions, and listening forums to give colleagues a voice.
* Oversee key HR administration, including ER trackers, NMC Pin checks, and consultation processes.
* Provide insight and updates to the HRBP and Regional Directors to help shape regional people strategies.
* Support national HR initiatives such as engagement surveys, policy rollouts, and ER support for other divisions.
What we’re looking for
Essential
* Proven experience managing complex employee relations cases in a fast-paced, small-team environment (care, healthcare, or similar).
* Experience working across multiple sites.
* Strong knowledge of UK employment law.
* CIPD Level 3 qualification (minimum).
* Ability and willingness to travel across the South.
* Understanding of the care sector and regulatory frameworks.
Desirable
* Experience supporting change programmes and consultations.
* Policy writing experience.
What’s in it for you?
* Competitive salary of £40,000 pro rata
* Flexible working options to support work-life balance
* Home-based role with regional travel
* The chance to join a fast-growing organisation with clear opportunities for progression
* A supportive, family-run culture where your impact matters
