Employee Relations Specialist - 12 Month Fixed Term Contract
Luton
Team
The Employee Relations (ER) team provides expert guidance, coaching, and support on employee relations cases and policy interpretation across all levels of the business. As part of People Service Delivery, ER prioritises a customer-centric approach, empowering managers through training, toolkits, and self-service resources to handle cases effectively while mitigating risk. They oversee case management, including investigations, grievances, whistleblowing, performance and absence management, and other complex matters, ensuring confidentiality and professionalism. ER also plays a key role in change projects like TUPE, redundancy, and legislative updates, offering support, updating materials, and ensuring smooth transitions.
What You'll Be Doing
As an ER Specialist, you will provide expert advice and coaching on employee relations matters, policy interpretation, and people initiatives that impact employee relations. Partnering closely with HR Business Partners and functional stakeholders, you will proactively manage ER cases from initiation to resolution, ensuring compliance with policies and best practices while mitigating risks. You will build strong stakeholder relationships, leveraging data and insights to drive strategic decision-making and improve case management. Supporting managers through coaching and tailored training, you will enhance ER capability and contribute to a positive workplace culture. Additionally, you will oversee case administration, maintain accurate records, and analyse trends to inform proactive interventions. Your role will also involve supporting change initiatives such as TUPE, redundancy, and redeployment, providing expert guidance and ensuring smooth transitions. Staying ahead of industry developments, you will contribute to policy updates, develop training materials, and work collaboratively to drive continuous improvement in ER practices.
What You'll Bring To The Team
You’ll have hands-on experience in Employee Relations, dealing with complex cases and navigating large-scale business changes. Building strong relationships will come naturally to you, whether it’s with senior leaders, unions, or consultative groups. You’ll have a solid understanding of UK employment law and know how to apply it in a practical way. Clear communication is key—you’ll be able to adapt your approach, influence decisions, and explain complex issues in a straightforward way. Staying organised under pressure won’t be a problem, and you’ll be comfortable juggling multiple priorities while using data to spot trends and drive improvements. You’ll also be familiar with HR systems and MS Office, and ready to travel across easyJet Base locations when needed.
What We Offer In Return
This full-time role will be based in Luton and will be 40 hours per week. Hybrid working with 3 days in the office.
