We advise on a wide range of employment relations issues, working with several different sets of terms and conditions and in partnership with colleagues across HR and OD. You will build and maintain good working relationships with managers across the Council, working independently and applying your initiative to advise on cases. Strong analytical, problem-solving, and organisational skills are required, as is resilience and the flexibility to work to unpredictable deadlines.
Alongside a busy caseload, you will contribute to the job evaluation process, as well as project and policy work based on Our People Strategy, and supporting work within the wider HROD service.

Experience of working in the schools environment, or within a local government, NHS or other public sector context would be beneficial but is not essential.
