Job Description

HR Consultant

Rossendale (Office-based)

£38,000 - £42,000 per annum

At Metis HR, we work directly with business owners who need clear, commercially sound advice, not policy quotes.

No scripts. No call centre approach. No hiding behind “best practice.”

You’ll work directly with business owners who are often under pressure, helping them make informed, practical decisions that are right for their organisation.

What does a day at Metis HR look like?

You’ll handle real situations, that want real solutions.

You’ll be answering calls and emails advising on everything people and HR. One minute you’ll be dealing with complex disciplinaries, grievances, or TUPE consultations and the next reviewing holiday policies and writing probationary review letters. No two days are the same!

You won’t be passing work up the chain. You’ll be trusted to think, advise, and take ownership.

You’ll be part of a small but highly experienced, commercial team, people who have run businesses and led departments themselves. We understand firsthand the commercial, operational, and personal pressures our clients face. No hierarchy for the sake of it. No ego. We challenge each other. We talk things through. We collaborate. We focus on getting it right for the client. Because of this, the role is primarily office-based near Bacup, Lancashire.

Successful Metis HR Consultants:

This isn’t about ticking competency boxes. It works well if you:

Have strong, working knowledge of employment law – and can apply it in real-world scenarios without overcomplicating it.
Bring commercial awareness – understanding risk, cost and business impact.
Ask the right questions before jumping to solutions.
Can stay calm when a client isn’t.
Enjoy solving problems and tackling complex challenges.
Build trust quickly and communicate with clarity and confidence.
Are comfortable making judgement calls and making decisions in difficult situations.
Care about getting to the right outcome, not just the “safe” one
Who this role suits?

You’ll likely be:

In a standalone or SME generalist HR role and frustrated by internal limitations.
In an HR consultancy but stuck in a volume, template-driven call centre model.
Ready to step into something more commercial, hands-on, and impactful.
Confident making decisions.
