This role sits within a centralised ER team and is highly operational. You’ll manage a varied ER caseload across low, mid and higher-risk matters (with no tribunal exposure to date), supporting managers in a fast-paced, site-based environment. It’s a hands-on role focused on leading investigations, managing ER process end-to-end and providing pragmatic advice where manager capability can vary, so confidence and initiative are key.
