Your New Role

We have a fantastic opportunity for an ER Case Manager to join our Transport Infrastructure business, supporting Highways and Rail contracts. We are creating a Case Management team and are looking for 4 Employee Relations Specialists to join us, each working with a business area of around 1000 employees:

• National Highways – England
• Local Authority Highways – England
• Highways – Scotland & Northern Ireland (based in/between Glasgow/Edinburgh)
• Rail – Nationwide (based in England)

The salary is between £35,000 - £45,000.

Our Transport Infrastructure business supports National Highways, Local Authority Highways, Highways Scotland and Rail Customers. We transform journeys and help communities thrive by making roads safer, railways smoother and our streets and green spaces cleaner

The Case Manager plays an important role within the team. As an Employee Relations Specialist, you will provide expert knowledge and advice to business leaders, instilling best practice and consistency on conduct, performance, grievances and absence cases and highly complex employment law issues.

The standard hours of work are 37.5 hours per week, Monday – Friday. This role will be home based with occasional travel across England and Scotland.

Work-life balance and flexibility are key for our success. We empower our people to make choices that are right for them, with hybrid, part-time and flexible work patterns. And with a network of offices across the UK, we’re open to discussing working options that suit you.

You will be responsible for:

• Supporting, liaising and developing effective working relationships with wider stakeholders
• Effective and efficient case management, ensuring cases are managed proactively and fairly, that case notes are accurate and business risk is highlighted and managed appropriately
• Serving as a coach and escalation point for People Managers, seeking guidance from wider team where required
• Providing a commercial, efficient, professional and customer focused Employee Relations service to your stakeholders
• Ensuring all case management details are recorded accurately on the Case Management System and that cases are managed pro-actively and driven through to conclusion
• Coach managers in aspects of people management including communication, robust decision making, fairness and consistency and application

We want to hear from you if you have:

• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
• Highly competent in Employment Law with the ability to handle complex cases
• The ability to work towards strict deadlines and drive best practice forward

You will be qualified in Level 5 CIPD, ideally Level 7 but not essential, with experience in dealing with a varied caseload.

In addition to this, it would be desirable if you had similar industry knowledge or experience to help you hit the ground running, although this is not essential as we will provide you with the required development you need to bring you up to speed.
