Full time HR / Recruitment

Job Description

Jigsaw Specialist Recruitment are exclusively working with a well-established, highly respected (and refreshingly down-to-earth) HR consultancy who are growing - organically, sensibly and off the back of reputation rather than noise.

They're looking for a HR Consultant.

Someone who:

  • Gets the commercial reality behind HR (not just textbook answers)
  • Can explain complex stuff in plain English - no jargon, no fluff
  • Is as comfortable advising a business owner as they are supporting someone through a difficult moment

What you'll actually be doing

  • Being the go-to HR brain for a portfolio of clients
  • Dropping into businesses as their "outsourced HR"
  • Handling everything from "quick question " to full-blown people challenges
  • Leading projects - culture, wellbeing, systems, recruitment, audits
  • Writing things people will actually read (policies, reports, comms)
  • Delivering training that isn't painful
  • Occasionally being the calm voice in the middle of chaos

The extra bit

This isn't a KPI-heavy, target-chasing environment.

But you will:

  • Build relationships
  • Get involved in networking (the good kind)
  • Contribute ideas
  • Help grow something that's already working really well

About you

You'll likely:

  • Have 5+ years in HR (Advisor / BP level or above)
  • Know your employment law - but don't lead with it
  • Be commercially minded, pragmatic and solutions-focused
  • Communicate like a human (not a policy document)
  • Be happy spinning multiple plates without dropping them
