Are you passionate about delivering a seamless people experience during times of change? Do you thrive in a role where every day brings new partnerships, challenges and opportunities to make a real impact?
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with TUPE experience who enjoys working at pace, collaborating with operational leaders and guiding stakeholders through complex processes with confidence.
About the role
As one of our Senior HR Advisors (TUPE), you’ll be part of a team with other Senior Advisors and TUPE Coordinators, and you’ll report into the TUPE Lead as part of our wider HR Operations team. You’ll become an expert for all things TUPE - supporting both incoming (gain) and outgoing (loss) transfers. You’ll shape the employee experience through thoughtful consultation, clear communication and meticulous data handling, ensuring a smooth transition for everyone involved.
From reviewing Employee Liability Information (ELI) data and identifying risks, to collaborating with other internal teams, preparing documentation, and supporting mobilisation and demobilisation meetings, you’ll play a vital part in delivering organised, compliant and people‑focused TUPE processes. You’ll also collaborate closely with HR colleagues, operational teams and internal terms to keep everything running effortlessly behind the scenes.
If you're someone who enjoys taking ownership, building relationships and becoming a trusted advisor, this role offers plenty of opportunity to shine.
