Our Employment Relations Adviser roles sit within our HR and Legal team, working alongside three Solicitors who collectively deliver an Employment Law advice and support service to our member companies. You will deal with new queries, manage a case workload and help our members with simple queries through to complex case management. That support also extends to offering training and learning opportunities for our members, so it would be great if you had experience in, or at least in interest in designing and delivery of training.
A day at work could be dealing with simple queries relating to investigations or managing absence, working on a caseload of policy, contract or handbook reviews, engaging with members to discuss ER issues, or working with the team to research and provide advice on more complex issues – no two days are the same!
Our ideal candidate will have industry experience, probably at HRBP level, though it doesn't need to necessarily be within our sector. It would be great if you had experience of working with local and national Trade Unions, with collective bargaining, and a broad understanding of the legislation surrounding it.
On a broader level, you would ideally have a good level of understanding of Employment Law and best practice, especially where it relates to Disciplinaries, Grievances, Absence and Performance Management, as well as more complex areas such as Redundancy and TUPE.
You will need to bring a degree of your confidence and credibility, to be comfortable in providing clear, concise and correct advice, and be prepared to translate complex Case and Employment law into language that helps our members deal with their issues. You will be organised in both managing your time and in your workload.
Our team is hugely supportive and a genuine team – not all of us are experts at everything, so we share our knowledge and experience to meet our members’ needs. Our offices are in Central Glasgow, and we operate a limited informal hybrid working arrangement; we value a good work and life balance, and do not have a long hours culture.
We would prefer if you had a relevant qualification – CIPD at Level 5 ideally – but good, demonstrable work experience and learning is more important. .
We have a good benefits package, with 33 days leave, company sick pay, Cycle to Work scheme, and a generous pension provision. Full or part time will be considered, with salary and benefits pro-rated for part time.
We may run two rounds of interviews, in person, so please indicate any range of dates where you might not be available to meet. Applications should be via CV, and if you are minded to include a covering letter you can do so. We look forward to reading about you.
We cannot provide visa sponsorship in this role.
