- Leading or contributing to organisation‑wide Employee Relations programmes and initiatives, including organisational change, redundancy and transformation activities involving multiple stakeholders.
- Partnering with colleagues across the People Function, Legal and the business to design, review and embed Employee Relations frameworks, policies and ways of working.
- Using data, insight and technology to identify themes, emerging risks and opportunities for improvement across Employee Relations activity.
- Building constructive, professional relationships with senior stakeholders, supporting informed decisions and appropriately challenging approaches that may introduce legal, regulatory or cultural risk.
- Producing clear, balanced and accessible written outputs, including outcome communications, senior briefings and risk assessments for complex or sensitive matters.

- Experience working with trade unions or employee representative bodies in a UK context.
- Confidence using data, insight and digital tools (including AI) responsibly to support Employee Relations casework, identify trends and inform decision‑making.
- Ability to manage multiple priorities in complex settings and engage constructively with differing views.

About you
- Clear and inclusive communication skills, with the ability to explain complex issues, influence decisions and support others through challenging topics.
