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
