Are you looking for an Employment Law / ER advisory role where the focus is on quality and client relationships, not billable hours, targets or sales?
This role offers:
Real variety - advising retained clients across a wide range of sectors (from micro businesses to larger employers with up to 2,000 staff).
A relationship-led approach - You'll build genuine rapport with clients, not rushed "get them off the phone" call handling.
No billable hours / no sales targets - success is measured by client satisfaction and retention.
A supportive, growth-minded team - training, coaching and development are built into the culture. You don't need to be the finished article, there is support on hand.
Progression opportunity - the business is growing, with longer-term potential routes to Senior Adviser level and beyond.
Work/life balance - finishing on time, switching off, and no "always on" culture. You'll be part of a small advisory team supporting a retained client base. Most support is delivered over the phone, handling a mix of:
Advice line calls (day-to-day employment law / HR queries)
Case management (disciplinary, grievance, sickness/absence, performance, redundancy, and sometimes TUPE)
Document support (letters/templates, plus contract/handbook reviews for new clients) What you'll need
Confidence to advise employers over the phone and give practical, clear guidance.
Solid, hands-on experience across core ER areas: disciplinary, grievance, absence, performance (redundancy exposure helpful).
Experience: ideally 2+ years in an employment law / ER advisory setting.
Qualifications: a law degree is preferred, but they're open-minded. This could suit a legally trained candidate or an experienced HR/ER advice-line adviser. Other Information
