Hire the Best Employee Relations Specialists
in the United Kingdom

10 years experience in HR, now Heading up HR function for a financial services firm in London. Covering all aspects of HR; from policy creation and contract development to performance management, dismissals and reporting, training and development and everything in between. Specialist in recruitment; successfully scaled 3 businesses to 4x headcount within 12-24 month period. Often tasked with developing an entire HR function from scratch.

A CIPD-qualified HR specialist with over 5 years of hands-on operations, recruitment and people management experience - I worked my way up from a successfully acquired 20-people tech start-up to a Silicon Roundabout healthcare scale-up and to now a global international E-sports org, gaining comprehensive understanding of hiring needs and recruitment processes across multiple roles, seniority levels and industries. I'm a big believer in a holistic approach to career decisions, and so here is a rough process I aim to follow: 1. An initial call or an in-person chat (I live in Shoreditch, London), where I will seek to gain comprehensive understanding of your academic and professional background and your desires and motivations for the next step in your career - and advise you on exactly where I can be helpful. 2. Once we both agree on the terms, I'll commence my work based on your request - construct or re-haul your CV/cover letter/LinkedIn Profile, help you organise your background into a clear and comprehensive narrative so that you can succeed in different interview settings and give any supporting advice and assistance throughout the process. What we'll seek to achieve together: • Create you a winning CV, cover letter, and a set of interview answers you can apply to most interview settings, plus insight about niche job boards specific to your industry • Help you narrate your experience in a way that is meaningful to hiring managers and recruiters • Assist with interview preparation and share hiring insights to ensure that you are a top candidate. • Offer comprehensive advice on the current job market trends and role alternatives where your skillset would be applicable, as well as assist with role/industry transition Where needed, I also offer advice and guidance on any ongoing HR processes, e.g. negotiating a promotion, managing your own personal development and career progression, effectively navigating an employee relations case etc. Note: Happy to complete the first few projects at a considerably discounted rate as I'm building my Upwork profile and recognition, so please do reach out with the details of your request and we can negotiate the rate

Pragmatic HR and employment law specialist with 20+ years' experience. Feel free to check my LinkedIn profile for further detail. I am a Chartered Member of the CIPD and have extensive knowledge in all areas of HR and employment law. I am happy to support with HR strategy, HR compliance, developing HR processes, policies and documentation, people management training, training to protect the business (discrimination etc.), employee relations issues (disciplinary and grievance), workplace investigations, redundancies, TUPE, general HR /employment law advice, settlement agreements, contract and handbook drafting. The work I undertake is fully insured and I work with clients directly as a consultant or as an associate for other HR consultancies. Having worked in HR consultancy for 10+ years, and as an in-house HR manager in industry for many years prior to that, I've seen numerous organisations in many different sectors adopt varied approaches to managing their ‘human resources’. Unsurprisingly, there isn’t a one size fits all solution when it comes to humans (or organisations for that matter, which are just as individual). But what experience has given me, is a wide ranging viewpoint of successes and failures for organisations and their people. I’ve helped 100’s of businesses improve employee experience/organisational performance and simplify and solve complex people problems. I try to avoid jargon and management speak and am an advocator of using plain English!
