HR Advisor / HR Consultant City of London | Hybrid – 2 days in office £70,000 – £80,000

C&C Search is currently partnering with a highly regarded professional services organisation to recruit an experienced HR Advisor / HR Consultant into a varied, client-facing advisory role. This is a brilliant opportunity for a confident HR generalist with strong employee relations experience who enjoys working commercially, building trusted relationships and providing practical, risk-aware HR advice.

The role will be approximately 80% focused on supporting an external member/client base of around 200 organisations, with 20% supporting internal HR activity. You will act as a trusted HR advisor, supporting clients with a broad range of people matters including employee relations, performance management, absence, disciplinary and grievance, restructures, consultation processes, policy, process, documentation and employment-law-adjacent HR guidance. This is not a solicitor role, but a strong working knowledge of UK employment law and HR best practice is essential.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Providing clear, practical HR advice to clients across a wide range of employee relations matters
• Supporting clients with performance, absence, disciplinary and grievance processes
• Advising on restructures, consultation processes and associated documentation
• Drafting and reviewing HR policies, contracts, letters and process documents
• Identifying employment relations, reputational and commercial risk, and providing pragmatic recommendations
• Building trusted, responsive relationships with senior stakeholders and external clients
• Collaborating with internal specialists to deliver joined-up client support
• Supporting internal HR activity as required

We are looking for someone who brings:

• Strong HR advisory, senior HR advisory, HR consultant or HR manager experience
• Excellent employee relations capability
• Strong working knowledge of UK employment law and HR best practice
• Experience advising multiple stakeholders, business areas, sites or clients
• A calm, credible and highly client-facing style
• The ability to translate HR complexity into clear, commercial and practical guidance
• A process-minded approach, with confidence creating and improving HR documentation
• CIPD qualification preferred

This role could suit someone coming from an outsourced HR, HR consultancy, professional services, SME, financial services or founder-led environment. It may also suit an in-house HR professional looking to move into a broader, more externally facing advisory role. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys variety, autonomy, complex ER and meaningful client relationships.
