Interim / Contract opportunity

Iconic Resourcing is working with a values-led organisation to appoint an experienced Employee Relations professional to step into a dedicated ER investigations and casework role. This opportunity would suit someone who genuinely enjoys the detail and complexity of employee relations and prefers to focus on hands-on case management, rather than the broader strategic elements of a traditional HR role.

The role

You’ll act as a trusted ER specialist, taking ownership of a varied caseload.

Duties include:

• Leading disciplinary and grievance investigations end-to-end
• Producing clear, well-structured investigation reports with practical recommendations
• Supporting managers with long-term absence and performance concerns
• Providing confident, pragmatic ER advice grounded in employment law
• Working closely with operational leaders to ensure fair, consistent outcomes
• Contributing to continuous improvement in ER processes and ways of working

What we’re looking for

• Strong, proven experience in ER investigations and casework
• Excellent working knowledge of UK employment law
• Confidence advising and coaching managers through challenging situations
• Clear, professional written skills – especially for investigation reports
• Ability to work autonomously, manage deadlines, and prioritise competing cases
• CIPD qualified (or equivalent experience)

Why consider it?

• Clear scope and focus
• Home-based role with infrequent travel
• Opportunity to make an immediate impact in a well-established HR function

If you’re an ER specialist who enjoys rolling up your sleeves and being the “go-to” person for investigations and casework, this is a role worth exploring. Get in touch for a confidential conversation.

To apply for this role, please send your CV or contact Gemma Gault at Iconic Resourcing for a confidential chat and further details.
