Our people are at the heart of our business, and we are looking for those that are just as passionate about that as we are. Join our People team, and come with us on a journey as we transform the way we do HR. Our team is made up of business partners working with leaders to get the most out of their teams, specialist knowledge in our centres of expertise, and colleague-centric, efficient people services. Our work ranges from making sure that our 150,000+ colleagues are paid on time to attracting brilliant talent to drive our strategy, to unlocking the skills and capability of our colleagues. This is a fast-moving business, and we make sure our policies and rewards keep up with that too. We know flexibility is important and helps you be more productive so there’s more choice than ever about where and when you work. When it comes to your development, we’ll support your growth in your own unique way. When you join us, you’ll be joining a team that knows just what it means to be happy and engaged, and who makes a real impact across our business.

You will play a vital role in providing expert Employee Relations advice and solutions for complex and high-risk cases across various geographic regions. Working closely with senior leaders and HR teams, you will build trusted relationships to ensure that the right ER advice is delivered, and risks are assessed appropriately. You will prioritise ER cases and make informed decisions on how to manage each situation, ensuring a balanced approach that aligns with our valued behaviours and commercial responsibilities.
Additionally, you will contribute to the development of line manager expertise through coaching and support, particularly in managing disciplinaries, fair treatments, capability, and performance-related issues. Your role will also involve overseeing occupational health cases, managing the consultation process, and providing input to pro-active learning interventions. With a focus on maintaining confidentiality and staying up to date with ER knowledge and best practices, you will work collaboratively with teams across the business to deliver credible ER advice and achieve desired outcomes for the business.
