HR Advisor (Contracts and HR Policies)

Company

When it comes to HR, the right advice puts our clients back in control, allowing businesses to reach a considered decision. Metis HR is an independent HR consultancy business based in Rossendale, Lancashire that delivers from real experience. The services include outsourced HR advice, training and business development services. The numbers (and our clients!) speak for themselves.

Overview

We believe it’s crucial for Metis HR employer clients to have employment contracts and HR policy documentation that are not only legally compliant but also offer safeguards and commercial options. This allows colleagues in our wider HR team to provide high quality, pragmatic and efficient advice to our clients.

As a Contract and HR Policy Specialist at Metis HR you will work closely with new and existing clients to gain a thorough understanding of their contract and employee handbook needs. The documentation you produce will closely meet the clients’ specific requirements but more importantly reflect current employment law.

Your commitment to service delivery, meticulous attention to detail, strong communication skills, and a supportive team mindset are crucial. Comfortably engaging with clients remotely and over the phone about their contracts and handbooks is essential. At Metis HR, our number 1 value is prioritising our clients, ensuring timely responses to queries within 24 hours.

One of the most interesting aspects of the job is that you never know which client from which sector you’re going to be working with. You’ll enjoy the problem solving and intellectual challenges that this role could give you.

As a conscientious and responsible individual, who is enthusiastic and organised with a commercial and pragmatic approach you’ll already be advising on contracts and HR policies, a confident contributor to team tasks, and you’ll crave experiencing the professional pride of making a real difference.
