The role
As a Regional HR Case Manager, you will be the trusted advisor for all employee relations matters across your operational region, working closely with managers and colleagues to resolve a wide range of employee relations matters. You will manage a diverse caseload that includes disciplinary, grievance, absence and performance management cases, ensuring they are handled fairly, consistently and in line with both employment law and company policy.
Your responsibilities will include supporting investigations, advising Hearing Chairs and ensuring cases are appropriately escalated. You will also manage Occupational Health referrals and oversee accurate HR system records.
In addition, you will contribute to reviewing and improving HR policies and processes, ensuring they remain robust, compliant and fit for purpose. You will help to build the confidence and capability of managers to handle challenging people issues, while also ensuring risks are managed and outcomes are balanced. You’ll identify training needs and provide practical, hands‑on guidance to resolve disputes and mitigate risks. From time to time, you will also be involved in wider HR projects, including TUPE, reorganisations and change initiatives, supporting both operational teams and HR colleagues across the business.
