Who You Work For

Tick HR is a HR Consultancy that supports businesses throughout the UK with a strong focus in Lincolnshire.

Our clients are often at different stages of growth and with different levels of HR maturity. You ll be a trusted external partner, building credibility quickly, understanding what matters to each client, and helping them make confident, compliant people decisions.

Your Focus

Providing advice and deliverables across a diverse client base, differing in size and industry. The work is fast paced, varied and solutions driven, you ll move between proactive HR projects (policies, audits, training, restructures) and reactive support (employee relations, urgent queries, risk management), consistently balancing best practice and employment law with what s practical and achievable for the client.

Typical Characteristics:

• Wide variety of issues across different industries, leadership styles, and risk appetites.
• Heavy emphasis on client service responsiveness, clarity, and confidence in advice.
• More context-switching (multiple clients, multiple priorities).
• You may deliver best practice recommendations, but the client ultimately decides whether/how to implement.
• More likely to involve set deliverables (audits, policy packs, ER case support), sometimes with travel for key meetings.

What This Really Means:

• You ll need to get up to speed fast quickly understand a client s business model, culture, constraints, and risk tolerance, often with incomplete information at first.
• You ll be comfortable advising at different levels one hour you re coaching a Line Manager through an absence meeting, the next you re briefing a MD on a redundancy process and risk.
• Your output must be usable, not just correct clear, jargon-free guidance; well-structured emails; practical templates; concise options with pros/cons and a recommended route.
• You ll protect the client (and Tick HR) through good judgement knowing when something is routine vs when it needs escalation, legal input, or a more cautious approach.
• You ll work to deadlines and scope deliverables are often time-bound (e.g. policy suite by X date, audit report, training session, ER milestones), and you ll manage expectations if timelines shift.
• You ll be comfortable with ambiguity and change client priorities can change quickly; you ll adapt without losing control of quality.

What s In It For You:

• Opportunity to work with a supportive and professional team.
• Private Medical Insurance.
• Enhanced holiday entitlement.
• Opportunities to develop professionally and expand your HR skill set.
• Varied and rewarding work across a diverse client base.

This role suits someone who enjoys variety, thrives on switching between clients and topics, and takes pride in giving clear, practical HR advice that Managers can act on immediately.

You ll be comfortable operating as a trusted external partner, building relationships quickly, managing multiple priorities, and delivering solutions that are compliant, pragmatic and commercially aware.
