HR Business Partner
Edinburgh | 6 Month FTC | Permanent Potential | Site-Based
We're working with a well known Edinburgh organisation going through an exciting period of growth and change. They're rebuilding their People function with real ambition, and this is a brilliant opportunity to join at an interesting time and make your mark.
This is a hands-on, employee relations focused role. You'll manage a varied ER caseload, support managers through complex people processes and contribute to a team that's actively building its capability and reputation across a large, multi-site, unionised workforce operating throughout the Lothians.
What you'll be doing:
* Managing a varied ER caseload covering disciplinary, grievance, absence, capability, conduct and appeal matters
* Providing clear, balanced and practical advice to managers, ensuring cases are handled fairly and consistently
* Supporting investigations, hearings and appeals, including preparing documentation and advising on process
* Coaching managers to address people issues confidently and at the earliest appropriate stage
* Building constructive relationships with trade union and employee representatives
* Identifying themes from casework and contributing to improvements in policy, process and manager guidance
What we're looking for:
* Solid experience managing ER cases in a busy, fast-paced or operational environment
* Good working knowledge of UK employment law, ACAS guidance and ER best practice
* Ability to interpret policy and give clear, proportionate advice under pressure
* Strong communication skills and confident stakeholder management at all levels
* CIPD Level 5 or equivalent relevant experience
* Experience in a unionised, multi-site or similarly complex setting is a real advantage
The role comes with a competitive package and a potential pathway to a permanent position for the right person.
