Your new company

A highly regarded
investment and pensions organisation responsible for managing significant
assets and administering several established UK pension schemes. The
organisation is evolving its People function and investing in a newly formed
People Business Partnering team to support its future ambitions.

Your new role

Initially focused on
Employee Relations, you will manage a varied and complex caseload while acting
as a trusted adviser to leaders and managers across the organisation.

You will:

• Manage complex
  disciplinary, grievance, performance, absence and workplace conflict cases

• Provide expert
  employment law, policy and best-practice advice

• Coach managers to
  build confidence and capability in handling ER matters

• Support investigations
  and recommend fair, balanced and pragmatic outcomes

• Review and develop
  People policies and procedures

• Identify emerging
  people risks and trends through case data and insight

• Support organisational
  change and work with trade unions or employee representatives when required

As the People
partnering model develops, you will have the opportunity to broaden your remit
and contribute to wider People initiatives and organisational strategy.

What you’ll need to succeed

• CIPD qualified or
  currently working towards a relevant CIPD qualification

• Strong experience
  managing complex and high-risk Employee Relations cases

• In-depth knowledge of
  UK employment law and ER best practice

• Experience working
  within financial services, professional services or another regulated
  environment

• Confident coaching,
  challenging and influencing managers and senior stakeholders

• Experience developing
  People policies and supporting organisational change

You will be
commercially aware, solutions-focused and able to balance technical employment
law expertise with pragmatic business advice.

What you’ll get in return

You will receive a
competitive salary and a comprehensive benefits package, including:

• 28 days’ annual leave
  plus bank holidays

• Annual bonus

• Defined benefit
  pension scheme

• Private medical
  insurance and health cash plan

• Life assurance

• Hybrid and flexible
  working

• Enhanced family leave

• Holiday purchase
  scheme and paid volunteering days

This is a permanent,
London-based hybrid position. Applicants must already have the legal right to
work in the UK, as visa sponsorship is not available.

If you are immediately
available and an experienced Employee Relations professional looking to broaden
into a wider People Business Partner role, please apply with an updated CV.
