We are looking for an experienced HR Consultant with a strong background in employment law, workplace procedures, and disability accommodations to assist with a high-profile tribunal case.
Key Qualifications and Expertise:
• Professional Background: CIPD membership or equivalent, with substantial experience in HR consultancy, particularly in handling grievance procedures, employment law, and disciplinary processes. • Legal Knowledge: Understanding of UK employment law, especially the Equality Act 2010 and the Employment Rights Act 1996. • Case Experience: Previous experience as an expert witness or providing expert HR reports for court or tribunal cases is highly desirable.
What We Expect:
• Impartiality and Objectivity: We seek a consultant who can provide an unbiased and professional opinion based solely on HR standards and best practices. Independence is crucial for ensuring that your analysis holds up in legal settings. • Adherence to HR Standards: You will need to demonstrate a clear understanding of HR best practices and guidelines, including CIPD and Acas standards. Your analysis should reflect how the employer’s actions align or deviate from these standards. • Detailed Case-Specific Analysis: You’ll be responsible for thoroughly analyzing the employer’s HR processes, focusing on grievance handling, dismissal procedures, and compliance with legal obligations, particularly in relation to disability accommodations. • Professional Opinion and Supporting Evidence: Your report should offer a clear, well-supported opinion on whether the employer acted reasonably. All claims must be backed by relevant documents such as emails, grievance notes, and OH reports, and linked to accepted HR guidelines. • Expert Witness Compliance: Familiarity with court or tribunal standards for expert witness reports (e.g., CPR 35 compliance) is essential, ensuring that your testimony and written reports are admissible and hold weight in legal proceedings.
If you are a dedicated HR professional with a strong ethical foundation, substantial experience in employment disputes, and a commitment to providing independent, evidence-based assessments, we want to hear from you.
To apply, please send your credentials and previous case experience, highlighting your expertise in tribunal cases and disability-related accommodations.
