About the role…

We’re looking for an Employee Relations (ER) Business Partner to join our People Team on a 12-month FTC covering maternity leave. Supporting our UK Commercial and Operations teams, you’ll manage ER cases, coach managers on effective conversations, support structural changes, and help shape market-leading policies by staying ahead of trends and legislation. This role also offers the chance to contribute to broader People initiatives, enhancing the People & Culture experience at Clear Channel.

What you’ll be doing…

• Manage a spectrum of ER cases, from sickness and performance to grievances and disciplinaries, always ensuring fairness and consistency.
• Keep company policies up to date with Government legislation while ensuring they remain practical and market leading.
• Build strong relationships with managers, coaching them to confidently handle challenging conversations and navigate ER processes.
• Support teams through restructures or TUPE processes, ensuring fairness and respect throughout.
• Develop and deliver tools, guides, and workshops to equip managers with the confidence to manage issues proactively.
• Analyse trends in ER data, using insights to recommend and implement initiatives that support both well-being and business performance.
• Partner with ERGs like Headspace and People with Disabilities to create inclusive initiatives that drive engagement and innovation.

Objectives for 6-12 months

1. Review and update our polices to reflect changes in line with government legislations. This includes staying ahead of government reforms, translating them into clear guidance for our teams.
2. Deliver workshops to empower managers with the skills to handle performance conversations confidently and proactively, building stronger leadership and team success
3. Collaborate with ERGs to understand employee needs, identify trends and make recommendations that enhance wellbeing and support business goals

What we’re looking for..

• Experienced at handling complex ER cases.
• An expert juggler, able to balance incoming requests and demands from a wide range of stakeholders as well as keeping cases moving at pace. 
• Comfortable with data, analysis and insight, to help us develop initiatives and measure our progress.
• Able to build great relationships so people come to you ‘for a chat’ or to ‘sound you out on something’ early on. 
• At the same time, coach and give managers the confidence to own and lead the trickier conversations without you needing to be there all of the time.
• Insightful and informed – staying up to date on external trends, best practice and legislation – coming to the table with well thought out options and recommendations.
• Resourceful, quickly figuring out the best way to make things happen at Clear Channel, in a way that really works for our people and our culture. 
• A team player, able to turn your hands to anything People-related to help your team out.
