You'll lead on a wide range of employee relations matters, providing expert guidance and support across the organisation.

Your responsibilities will include:

Managing a varied caseload of employee relations matters, including disciplinary, grievance, capability, attendance, probation, flexible working and unauthorised absence cases.
Leading and supporting complex, sensitive and high-risk employee relations cases.
Conducting workplace investigations and supporting formal hearings and appeals.
Providing expert advice on employment law, policies and employee relations best practice.
Supporting organisational change activity, consultations and workforce planning initiatives.
Building strong relationships with Regional Managers, Locality Managers and operational leaders, becoming a trusted source of advice and support.
Coaching managers to build confidence and capability in managing people issues effectively.
Analysing employee relations trends and providing insights to support workforce planning and decision-making.

Excellent investigation, influencing and stakeholder management skills.
The confidence to provide clear, pragmatic advice to managers at all levels.
A collaborative and solutions-focused approach.

Experience within social care, healthcare, housing, charity or another regulated environment would be advantageous but is not essential.

Why join Brandon Trust?

This is an opportunity to take on a highly visible role where your expertise will have a real impact. You'll work closely with managers across the organisation, influence key people decisions and help create positive workplace relationships that enable colleagues to do their best work.
