About the job

Job summary

Ofgem is Great Britains independent energy regulator. Our primary responsibility is to protect energy consumers, especially the most vulnerable, while at the same time working with government, industry and consumer groups to deliver a clean, more affordable and secure net-zero energy system at the lowest cost to consumers and drive economic growth.

Ofgem has a culture of inclusion that encourages, supports and celebrates the diverse voices and experiences of our colleagues. It fuels our innovation and helps ensure we can best represent the consumers and the communities we serve. Everyone is welcome - as an inclusive workplace, our employees are comfortable bringing their authentic selves to work.

Role Purpose

The Employee Relations Advisor provides advice on employee relations matters, supporting the delivery of a consistent and legally compliant approach across the organisation. Reporting to the Employee Relations Manager, this role works to implement Employee Relations (ER) policies and build capability among managers and HR colleagues - acting as a trusted advisor on disciplinary, grievance, performance, probation, attendance management etc. The role operates in an advisory capacity, supporting managers in complex and sensitive people situations by preparing them for difficult conversations and translating complex policy into practical, manager‑usable guidance in live case contexts.

The role also contributes to maintaining constructive relationships with trade unions and staff networks supporting negotiations and consultations as required. The role also drives continuous improvement in ER processes and uses data and insight to identify trends, mitigate risk and enhance employee experience.

Job description

Key Accountabilities

Provide advice on ongoing case management ensuring timely, fair and legally compliant outcomes aligned with Ofgem policy and legislation.
Provide judgement‑based advice on complex conduct, performance and attendance matters, including issues with potential equality, reputational or organisational impact.
Provide advice and coaching to managers and HR teams, building capability to manage ER issues effectively and prevent escalation.
Prepare and coach managers for difficult and sensitive conversations, ensuring they understand both the legal framework and behavioural expectations.
Support constructive engagement with trade unions and staff networks, participating in consultations and negotiations to maintain positive industrial relations.
Drive continuous improvement in ER processes, reviewing guidance and toolkits to reflect legislative changes and organisational priorities.
Analyse ER data and trends to identify risks and inform proactive interventions, producing reports and recommendations for senior stakeholders.
Resolve complex case‑level policy interpretation queries, escalating appropriately where required.

Key Responsibilities

Employee Relations Casework

Support managers in handling case management (e.g. disciplinary, grievance, attendance, performance etc.) by providing advice to ensure fair, timely resolution in line with KPI timeframes, employment law and Ofgem policy.
Advise on complex and sensitive cases requiring careful judgement, including conduct or performance issues with heightened risk or reputational sensitivity.
Ensure accurate documentation and deliver clear, evidence-based guidance to help managers reach compliant outcomes.

Expert Advice & Coaching

Act as a trusted advisor, guiding managers through ER issues and mediation to build confidence and capability. Deliver tailored advice on policy interpretation, risk assessment and best practice approaches to prevent escalation and promote early resolution.
Prepare managers in advance of difficult conversations, including advising on approach, messaging, tone, policy application and risk.
Translate complex ER policy and employment law into practical, manager usable advice in live people situations.

Trade Union Engagement and Consultation Activities

Work closely with the Employee Relations Manager to maintain constructive relationships with trade unions and staff networks. Participate in consultation meetings, organisational change discussions and negotiations, ensuring accurate information is shared and agreements are implemented effectively.

ER Trends & Policy Development

Assist in reviewing and updating ER policies, procedures and toolkits to reflect legislative changes and organisational priorities.
Analyse equality related trends and potential bias across ER casework and outcomes, highlighting risks and recommending proactive interventions.
Monitor case data, employee feedback and workforce metrics to identify patterns and emerging risks. Prepare reports (e.g. equalities data) and recommendations for senior stakeholders, recommending proactive interventions and continuous improvement in ER practices.
Monitor and anticipate legislative changes, providing timely updates and insights to inform strategy and compliance.
