People Advisor

Abbatt Dual Management are recruiting a People Advisor to join the HR team. The role will involve advising on and managing employee relations issues such as disciplinaries, grievances, performance management, absence management etc.

We are ideally looking for someone who has experience managing restructures and redundancies, and can confidently communicate with colleagues, employees and clients. This role will be both leading on and advising on HR matters, so we are looking for someone who is just as happy working autonomously as being part of a team. We are particularly interested in talking to candidates who have experience of managing their own cases including conducting meetings and making decisions on complex HR cases, but we will also consider candidates with strong HR administration experience who are looking to make the next step in their career and who have the confidence to do so.

The role is based in the Abbatt offices on High Holborn (closest tube Chancery Lane) but will require the role holder to travel to sites across London to conduct meetings/consultations (travelling on public transport).

• Deliver training to new and existing candidates
• Conduct Risk Assessments and manage H&S issues
• Keep abreast of changes to legislation regarding workplace Health and Safety and HR
