Interim Senior HR Advisor

Your primary focus will be managing a high-volume employee relations caseload. 

You will:

• Deliver a professional, risk‑based HR consultancy service, focused on ER casework (disciplinary, grievance, sickness, capability, performance etc.)
• Provide clear, expert advice to managers throughout formal processes Build strong working relationships with trade union colleagues and contribute to effective consultation and negotiation
• Provide accessible, user‑friendly HR guidance and materials Use workforce insights and data to proactively highlight risks and shape solutions
• Contribute to HR policy updates and service improvement work where required

While the wider permanent HR Consultant team will lead on major restructures and organisational change programmes, the postholder may occasionally support elements of change activity, depending on service need. The day‑to‑day emphasis is on high volume ER casework, often complex, sensitive and time‑critical.

Hybrid Working & On‑Site Requirements

This role is not a traditional 3‑days‑per‑week office‑based arrangement. You will be required to attend in‑person meetings, hearings and casework discussions across the city. The centrally located main office operates on a desk‑booking basis and will be used only occasionally for touch‑down space between meetings or for monthly team meetings. You won't typically be onsite with colleagues, so the role requires someone who is highly organised confident managing their own diary comfortable working independently able to balance travel with service‑delivery demands
