Edinburgh - HR Consultant

HR Consultant | Edinburgh – Hybrid | Client-Site Travel

We’re looking for an HR Consultant to join a growing People Consultancy team in Edinburgh. This is an exciting opportunity for an HR professional with 2+ years’ experience who wants to broaden their experience, work with a variety of businesses and develop their career within consultancy.

If you're currently working in an internal HR role and looking to make the move into consultancy, this could be a great next step. Equally, if you're already working in HR consultancy and want to join a growing and supportive team, we'd love to hear from you.

The Role
No two days will be the same. You'll work with clients across a range of sectors and at different stages of their growth, providing practical, commercial HR advice and helping them solve real people challenges.
You'll be involved in:

• Providing advice across day-to-day HR, employee relations and employment matters
• Building strong and trusted relationships with clients
• Supporting clients with HR policies, processes and best practice
• Advising managers on recruitment, people management and employee issues
• Supporting employee relations and people-related projects
• Helping businesses develop positive, inclusive and values-led cultures
• Creating practical HR tools, processes and documentation
• Supporting the implementation of HR solutions that add genuine value
• Representing the business at external events and supporting business development activity

You'll work closely with experienced Senior Consultants who will support your development while giving you the opportunity to take ownership and build your consultancy skills.

What We're Looking For
We're looking for someone who is commercial, curious, solutions-focused and great with people.
You'll ideally have:

• 2+ years' HR experience

Strong knowledge of HR practice, employee relations and employment legislation

Experience in an internal HR or consultancy environment

Excellent communication, listening and questioning skills

The confidence to build relationships with clients and advise managers

A practical and commercially focused approach to problem solving

Strong organisation and attention to detail

CIPD qualified or willing to work towards the qualification

A genuine interest in developing your HR and consultancy career

Full driving licence and access to a car – essential

Why Consider It?
This is a great opportunity to move into consultancy and significantly broaden your HR experience. Rather than being focused on one organisation, you'll work with a diverse client base, giving you exposure to different sectors, cultures, business challenges and HR environments.
You'll join an established team of 60+ HR, Health & Safety and Talent Development specialists, with plenty of opportunity to learn, develop and progress your career.

Interested?
If you're ready to take your HR career in a new direction and are looking for an opportunity to build your consultancy experience in Edinburgh, we'd love to hear from you.
