  • Facilitate mediation and conciliation services to resolve internal workplace disputes and maintain healthy employment relations.

What You'll Need

  • Proven track record of chairing formal meetings and making high-stakes decisions on warnings, dismissals, and redundancy issues.
  • CIPD qualification (Level 5 or 7) or a Degree in Law, HR, or a related business discipline.
