Due to our ongoing expansion, we are looking to recruit an experienced field-based ER specialist to manage operational ER cases within our retail stores.
You will be responsible for working with both retail colleagues and managers in 750 stores nationwide, providing Employee Relation support for complex cases face to face.
We are looking for a model of best practise who can focus on de-escalating any HR issue to mitigate the need for a formal process. This role will act as the point of escalation for grievances, disciplinaries, dismissals and other more serious ER cases.
The day to day role will:
- Be a point of escalation for sensitive ER issues, fostering an environment where conflicts are resolved informally. You’ll work closely with both managers and employees to guide conversations towards productive outcome
- Navigate difficult employee relations issues, from conflict resolution to disciplinary matters, while maintaining a calm, solution-focused approach
- Be able to travel to multiple locations to support colleagues face to face in store
- Balance multiple priorities ensuring a smooth solution to any ER case
To be successful, you’ll have:
- Proven experience in a generalist HR role, with a focus on employee relations and case management. You should be comfortable handling complex and sometimes difficult cases
- A strong ability to remain calm under pressure and deal with challenging, often emotional, situations while maintaining professionalism and commercial approach
- Strong experience in mediation and the ability to influence key stakeholders to resolve issues before they escalate
- The ability to think on your feet and offer pragmatic, solutions-focused advice to managers and colleagues
- An understanding of UK employment law and best HR practices, with the ability to apply it in tough situations
- Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to articulate sensitive information clearly and diplomatically
- Worked within a commercial setting which places emphasis on a pragmatic approach to finding solutions
We also offer you a range of great benefits including discount in our stores, free parking for all colleagues in our Support Centre, colleague portal offering additional discount for retailers, hospitality & much more!
