Location: Somewhere fabulous in Lancashire (with travel to client sites across the northwest region)

We have created a new rolefor a Consultant HR Business Partner who’s got more knowledge than ChatGPT and more strategic thinking than a game of celebrity Traitors!

  • Speak fluent TUPE and handle union consultations without breaking a sweat.
  • Manage projects like a ninja and know the employee lifecycle better than your Netflix history.
  • Understand employment law and apply it in practice.
  • Be confident, proactive, and not afraid to say, “Actually, I disagree…” (politely, of course).

  • Influence stakeholders, deliver training, and still make it home in time for Bake Off.

🧠 What you’ll be doing:

  • Audit HR like Sherlock Holmes with a spreadsheet.
  • Deliver strategic HR support that makes clients say, “Wow, you’re good.”
  • Educate, mentor, and occasionally dazzle clients with your HR wizardry.
  • Represent AfterAthena at events — yes, there may be brews, cake and biscuits involved.
  • Be a strategic thinker with a commercial edge.
  • Build relationships with charm and a touch of sass.
  • Juggle priorities like a circus performer (minus the clown shoes).
  • Be discreet, trustworthy, and know when to speak and when to raise an eyebrow.

Clear opportunities for career progression and professional development. A forward-thinking workplace where your expertise makes an impact.🧘♀️ Genuine work-life balance supported by hybrid working.
