Senior HR Business Partner
Edinburgh | 6 Month FTC | Permanent Potential | Site-Based

We're working with a well known Edinburgh-based organisation on a senior and genuinely exciting hire. The business is going through a significant period of growth, and the People function is being rebuilt with a clear strategy and real ambition behind it.

This is a senior, expert-level employee relations role. You'll lead a growing People Relations team, manage complex and high-risk casework, and be the go-to ER specialist for the organisation's senior leaders. If you're someone who thrives in a busy, operational, unionised environment and wants a role where you can genuinely shape something, this is worth a conversation.

What you'll be doing:

Leading and managing the People Relations team, providing direction, coaching and case oversight
Taking ownership of complex and high-risk ER cases including disciplinary, grievance, dignity at work, capability, whistleblowing and tribunal matters
Providing expert, commercially focused advice to senior managers and leaders
Assessing and managing employment risk and working alongside legal advisers on tribunal claims and complex matters
Designing and delivering manager briefings, toolkits and learning sessions to build ER capability across the business
Leading or supporting the review and development of employment policies, procedures and governance frameworks
Building productive relationships with trade unions, employee representatives and senior stakeholders

What we're looking for:

Significant experience managing complex ER cases in a fast-paced, unionised or operational environment
Experience leading or supervising an ER or People Relations team
Strong knowledge of UK employment law, ACAS guidance and employment tribunal risk
Confident advising senior leaders on sensitive, high-risk or reputationally significant people matters
Experience supporting consultation, restructuring, redundancy, TUPE or organisational change
CIPD Level 7 or equivalent specialist ER experience is desirable

Interested? Get in touch with Danielle Scott at NT Engineering and Manufacturing. All applications are handled in complete confidence.
