About The HR Consultants
We don’t mean to show off… but we’re kind of a big deal in the world of HR consultancy.
The HR Consultants is a boutique HR consultancy supporting businesses across the UK with practical, commercially focused and legally compliant people solutions. We partner with organisations that want expert HR support without the overhead of an in-house team, helping them build workplaces where people genuinely love to work.
Our services span the full employment lifecycle, including retained HR advisory, recruitment, policy development, organisational change, training, and people strategy. We pride ourselves on straightforward advice, strong relationships, and solutions that are operationally effective and commercially sensible.
Over the past five years, we’ve helped 50,000+ people have a better experience at work and supported hundreds of organisations to grow through their people, and that feels pretty great.
The Role:
We’re looking for a confident, organised and people-focused HR professional to join our growing consultancy team. This is a client-facing role delivering end-to-end HR support across multiple organisations and sectors.
You’ll combine advisory work, hands-on HR administration, project delivery and recruitment support, working closely with business owners and managers to provide practical, compliant and commercial HR guidance.
What You’ll Be Doing:
As an HR Generalist Consultant, you’ll manage a portfolio of clients, acting as their main HR contact and providing practical, risk-aware advice on employee relations, contracts, policies, and compliance. You’ll handle HR administration tasks like onboarding, leavers, payroll data, and maintaining accurate records.
You’ll also support HR projects such as creating handbooks, reviewing policies, managing restructures, redundancies, TUPE transfers, and implementing new processes. Recruitment support is part of the role too, from posting vacancies and screening candidates to coordinating interviews and onboarding.
Above all, you’ll build strong relationships with clients, identify opportunities for additional support, and represent The HR Consultants professionally—helping businesses create workplaces their people love.

- Solid HR Generalist experience
