HR Consultant
The HR Guru | Remote – Yorkshire Region (essential) | 4 or 5 hours a day, 5 days a week | £40k FTE
We're The HR Guru, and over the last three and a half years we've helped more than 100 businesses across the UK stop dreading their HR problems and start actually solving them. We provide HR consultancy to small and medium sized businesses who don't need someone in-house.
And now we're looking for another HR Guru to join the team on a permanent part time basis (this is an in-house PAYE role not freelance).
We're a fun, down to earth team who work remotely within the Yorkshire region but love regular co-working team days to share ideas, film some content and genuinely just work side by side. And there's tonnes of room for growth as we continue to expand.
This is a part-time role working 4 or 5 hours a day, 5 days a week, with the exact hours to be agreed with the right individual. The salary is £40,000 full-time equivalent, and you'll work remotely while being based in the Yorkshire region.
You'll also get unlimited annual leave and a workplace that is properly tech-first. If there's a slick system that can make life easier for you or our clients, we'd rather use it than watch you battle with a spreadsheet that should have been retired in 2009.
Benefits:
-
Remote first (in Yorkshire region)
-
Latest tech to work on
-
Unlimited holiday each year
-
Career growth and development
-
You get a strange amount of satisfaction from untangling a messy grievance
-
You've guided managers through difficult disciplinaries, awkward conversations and those “you're not going to believe what's happened…” phone calls – and come out the other side with your professionalism and sense of humour intact
-
You know your CIPD Level 5 from your Level 7, and you know UK employment law well enough to give clients confident, practical advice when they need it
-
But you're not someone who thinks great HR begins and ends with legislation
-
You're just as comfortable getting stuck into a new HRIS as you are coaching a nervous first-time manager through their first 1:1
-
You're curious about technology, you look for smarter ways of doing things
-
You're confident working on systems both day to day and implementing and advising for our clients. If there's a better way of doing something you'll flag that and make it happen
-
You appreciate the benefits of AI but won't rely on it unnecessarily, your superpower is your knowledge and experience
-
You understand that our clients want a HR partner, not a lecture, but you're also not afraid to stand your ground (whilst being commercially focussed)
-
You think differently about HR and aren't afraid to create content to prove it
-
Being the go-to HR person for a portfolio of brilliant, varied clients across the whole employee lifecycle
-
Leading on the tricky stuff: disciplinaries, grievances, absence, performance, consultations
-
Writing contracts, handbooks and policies people might genuinely read
-
Getting stuck into HR systems, data and process improvements
-
Shaping onboarding, engagement and development that people notice
-
Being the calm, credible voice in the room when things get complicated
-
Spotting the opportunities to do even more for clients (and for us)
-
CIPD Level 5 or 7 (or experience to match)
-
Proper generalist HR experience across the whole employee lifecycle
-
A track record of handling ER cases with judgement, not just a checklist
-
Confidence to challenge, influence and hold your own with senior leaders
-
Comfortable with HR tech, and allergic to inefficient processes
-
Yorkshire based (essential), with a driving licence and the willingness to visit clients when needed - unfortunately we cannot accommodate candidates outside of Yorkshire currently.
-
Happy with a working pattern of 4 or 5 hours a day, 5 days a week, exact split agreed at interview
-
Experience in a consultancy role would be a bonus but not essential
If that sounds like your kind of HR, we should probably talk.
