• Contributing to the delivery of tailored training sessions for managers
• Assisting with data tracking and reporting via case management software
• Coordinating documentation for Employment Tribunals and helping manage external legal advice processes
• Supporting mediation, redeployment, ill-health retirement cases, and compromise agreements

About You

To be successful, you should have:

• Graduate membership of the CIPD (or be working towards it)
• Solid understanding of UK employment legislation and case law
• Proven experience supporting complex casework in a large, multi-functional organisation
• Excellent communication, influencing and interpersonal skills
