JOIN US AS OUR EMPLOYEE RELATIONS SPECIALIST - HYBRID 2-3 DAYS IN OUR WESTMINSTER-BASED OFFICE OR VISITING NURSERIES

We’re London Early Years Foundation (LEYF), the largest charitable nursery group in London with over 40 nurseries. Our People and Culture team play a critical role in creating a positive and supportive workplace for over 900 employees.
“This is a fantastic time for a ER Specialist to join us. LEYF isn’t so big that you get lost, and the impact you’ll make will feel significant. You’ll find a positive culture and people ready for change.” — Daryle, HR Operations Manager

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

As the Employee Relations Specialist for LEYF you’ll make a huge impact. You’ll be the expert in complex ER matters, bringing a mix of strong legislative knowledge and an empathetic approach. You’ll support managers on performance, grievances, absence, disciplinaries, and more, guiding them with confidence and care. You’ll lead TUPE processes, identify trends to improve policies, and coach leaders to build stronger, high-performing teams.
We’re looking for you to be experienced in a similar role, showing how you’ve handled complex and sensitive cases, coached managers, and advised on TUPE, with a solution-focused mindset to your work. Although the caseload isn’t high you’ll be the go-to for complex matters where managers need guidance and advice on how to deal with difficult situations. We’re really collaborative at LEYF, so you’ll need to be curious, open-minded, and compassionate with a natural talent for building trusted relationships and the confidence to suggest and implement improvements to our policies and approach to ER.
If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you! Our recruitment process is quick and we’re reviewing applications on a rolling basis, so you’ll hear from us within 1-2 days after applying. Reach us at jointheteam@leyf.org.uk or 0203 834 8679 for any questions.
