Your story, with Reach
As a modern media organisation, we're much more than just news. And it takes a wide range of people and skills to serve diverse audiences, customers and communities like we do.
We know everyone has their own story to tell, so we’ve built an environment where every background is respected and every day is a day to explore.
We’ll help you build a career that works with your life, while giving you the space to create and grow.
What the role involves - 6 Months FTC
You will independently champion a portfolio of complex ER cases from inception to resolution, including dismissals, appeals, and tribunal preparation.
When the business undergoes change, you will act as our operational anchor, guiding leaders through organisational design, restructures, and redundancy processes.
Beyond casework, you will legally safeguard the business by virtually representing us in confidential grievances, disciplinaries, and collective consultations.
You will keep us ahead of the curve by updating policies in line with shifting UK&I legislation, while proactively building team capability through best-practice training.
Finally, you will collaborate with the wider HR team on strategic projects to continuously elevate our overall service delivery.
What You’ll Need to Succeed
To thrive in this role, you bring a proven track record of managing a highly complex, sensitive ER caseload within a dedicated advisory or specialist environment.
You pair in-depth, up-to-date knowledge of UK&I employment legislation with practical experience navigating change programs, organisational restructures, trade union consultations, and employment tribunal preparation. A CIPD qualification
Behaviorally, you are a pragmatic problem-solver with a commercial, solution-oriented mindset focused on balanced outcomes rather than just quoting policy.
You possess the stakeholder management skills to quickly build trust, establish credible relationships, and confidently challenge leaders at all levels.
Fast-paced and resilient, you manage competing priorities with agility while helping others focus.
You communicate complex legal advice with clarity, and you demonstrate the strong collaborative judgment needed to work seamlessly across the wider People function, knowing exactly when to escalate for the best outcome.
How we'll look after you
We take good care of our people - and that means more than just a pay packet. Whatever your role, you'll get a range of benefits, including:
- 25 days' holiday (plus bank holidays), as well as an extra day after you've been with us for three, five and 10 years. We also have a scheme to help you buy extra holiday if you want to.
If you’re excited about this role but don’t tick every single box, please don’t let that stop you from applying.
We know that everyone has their own story to tell, and we value potential, passion and the perspectives that different backgrounds bring to our work.
Diverse perspectives strengthen our teams and help us better serve our audiences, which is why we’re dedicated to fostering an inclusive workplace where everyone feels welcome and supported. As an equal opportunities employer, we encourage applications from people of all backgrounds and experiences.
We are committed to a recruitment process that is fair and welcoming to all, without discrimination on the basis of age, disability, gender identity, ethnicity, religion or belief, sexual orientation, or any other protected characteristic.
