Our specialisms span the full range of business advisory work — from finance and tax through to people, payroll and talent consultancy — and we work with clients as they grow, from ambitious start-ups to established, scaling businesses. We believe our people come first. We build strong client relationships through genuine partnership, straightforward advice and a real understanding of what our clients need. We invest heavily in our team, offering structured training, support toward professional qualifications, and plenty of room to grow into new challenges as your career develops. We're also committed to doing right by our communities and the environment, with active volunteering, training and sustainability programmes running throughout the business.   The Opportunity We're hiring a HR Consultant to join our people consultancy team, on a full-time basis. We're looking for someone who is working towards a Level 7 Advanced CIPD accreditation (or equivalent), with solid experience operating in a strategic HR capacity. About the Team We're a dedicated people consultancy, helping client organisations with everything from HR and employee relations to health & safety and talent development. Our specialists work closely with each client to really understand their business, then tailor support around what they actually need — whether that's advice on a single issue or ongoing partnership as their HR function scales. We're proud to work with some of the most ambitious and fast-growing businesses in the country, and being part of a larger advisory group means we can also call on specialist expertise from across finance and other business disciplines when clients need it. Above everything, our approach comes down to our people — we look for driven, curious individuals and give them the platform to become genuine experts in their field, which is a big part of why we've been recognised for the quality of our team. About the Role This is a great opportunity for someone building their HR career (roughly 4+ years' experience) who's currently in an internal HR role and wants to move into consultancy, where you're working directly with a portfolio of clients and giving commercial, practical advice rather than sitting inside one organisation.
