HR Consultant - Training Expertise

HR Consultant with Training Expertise At Lanes HR, we provide practical, commercially focused HR support with a very human approach. We are looking for an experienced HR Consultant who also has a strong interest and background in Learning & Development. You will be CIPD Level 5 qualified or above, with solid generalist HR experience and a good working knowledge of UK employment law. You will support clients across a wide range of HR matters, including employee relations, disciplinary and grievance, absence, performance, capability, redundancy, restructuring, TUPE, investigations and general day-to-day HR advice. You will also play an important part in developing and delivering our training offer. We want someone who is confident in front of a room, can make learning practical and engaging, and can turn technical HR topics into something managers can easily understand and use. Training may include employment law, difficult conversations, performance management, leadership, absence management, equality and inclusion, psychological safety and other people-management topics. You will work closely with a broad range of clients, so strong relationship-building skills are essential. You should be comfortable advising business owners, managers and senior leaders, and confident enough to challenge constructively when needed. Professional judgement and integrity are extremely important to us. We expect you to know when you are confident in your advice and, equally, when to stop and ask for a second opinion. If you are ever unsure, you must seek support rather than guess. We would far rather you ask a question than give a client inaccurate or incomplete advice. The role will also involve drafting and reviewing HR documentation, including contracts, policies, handbooks, letters and investigation reports, so clear written communication and attention to detail are important. We are looking for someone who is professional, organised, commercially aware and able to manage a varied workload independently, while still enjoying being part of a small and friendly team. Consultancy experience would be helpful, as would any additional L&D, coaching or training qualifications, but the right personality and practical approach are equally important. And one thing is genuinely essential: A good sense of humour. We take our work seriously, but not ourselves. We want someone warm, approachable and down to earth who can deal with difficult HR situations professionally, deliver great training and still have a laugh with the team along the way. Knowledge. Value. Results.

• That is what we stand for, and we are looking for someone who can bring all three.
