As People Advisor, you will be the local face of People Operations in London, providing hands-on advisory support and casework for employment matters. This is an operational, judgment-focused role that serves as a strong launchpad for career progression in People & HR.
Key responsibilities:
- Provide practical advice to employees, managers, and People Operations colleagues on local employment practices, policies, and people matters requiring interpretation or judgment
- Run local cases from start to finish within your certification scope, including absence management, performance concerns, and restructuring conversations
- Handle intake for leave, accommodation, and absence requests, resolving routine matters and escalating appropriately
- Build out local processes and policies, ensuring people programs land effectively in the London market
- Identify opportunities to improve local processes and employee experiences, collaborating with other People teams
- Apply the market's jurisdiction playbook accurately and flag misalignments with local reality
- Recognize when matters become formal, contested, or legally sensitive, and hand off seamlessly with full documentation
- Maintain current certification and calibration to meet consistent standards across markets
- Work closely with People Business Partners and Employee Relations & Compliance, sharing local trends, recurring issues, and emerging risks
Success means employees and managers receive fast, consistent, local support; every case is well-documented and defensible; handoffs are clean and immediate; patterns are raised early to prevent escalation; and you become a trusted, visible presence people choose to engage with.
You'll sit within People Operations and act as an escalation point for People Operations Specialists, providing guidance on matters requiring local interpretation or tailored approaches. You'll partner closely with Employee Relations & Compliance, who own jurisdictional frameworks and specialist expertise for complex or legally sensitive matters.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Experience in an HR, People Operations, or HR generalist role, ideally with some exposure to employee relations casework
- Good understanding of local employment practices, employee relations, and HR policies, with ability to apply these in real-world situations
- Ability to stay neutral and steady under pressure, including with senior stakeholders
- Sound judgment on when to act and when to escalate; preference for flagging early rather than guessing
- Organized and detail-oriented, with documentation clear enough for handoff
- Motivated by career progression and genuine interest in growing within People & HR
- Comfortable working within a defined playbook while bringing your own judgment to application
