Peninsula are the leading provider of employment law and health & safety services in the UK with over 30,000 clients. Face2Face is a premium service which our clients can request and pay for where and when needed.

As a HR Consultant you will be attending client sites to 'hold and conduct' our client's employee meetings as an impartial third party, with the possibility of having to give evidence at a subsequent tribunal hearing. Although the types of meetings can be fairly wide ranging, by far the most common types of meetings are Disciplinary Hearings, Grievance Meetings and Appeals. At the conclusion of the Hearing, the HR Consultant will undertake any necessary investigations, and provide appropriate written outcomes.

The successful candidate will be required to undertake approximately 3 separate Face2Face assignments each week. You will be required to travel and work away from home and staying away overnight when required.
