HR Consultant
Glasgow / West Coast | Hybrid & Client-Facing
Immediately Available/Short notice is essential
Are you a commercially minded HR professional who enjoys variety, autonomy, and being close to the action?
This is an exciting opportunity to join a small, successful and growing HR consultancy working closely with SME and mid-sized clients across Scotland. You’ll partner directly with business owners and senior leaders, delivering practical, hands-on HR support that genuinely makes a difference.
This role is ideal for an experienced HR Generalist or HR Consultant who thrives in fast-paced environments, enjoys building strong client relationships, and wants to be trusted to get on with the job.
The Role
As an HR Consultant, you’ll take ownership of a portfolio of clients, acting as their trusted HR partner.
Your work will be varied, commercial, and hands-on, including:
- Providing pragmatic HR advice across the full generalist remit, including disciplinary, grievance, absence, performance, redundancies, restructures and ER matters
- Supporting and leading projects such as restructures, TUPE, job design and salary benchmarking
- Coaching and advising SME leaders and managers, balancing risk, cost, and culture
- Building long-term client relationships across sectors such as professional services, manufacturing, and FMCG
- Managing your own workload and priorities with autonomy and accountability
- Working flexibly between home, office, and client sites
This is not a policy-heavy or purely advisory role; it’s about rolling your sleeves up and helping businesses move forward in the best way suited to each customer’s needs.
What We’re Looking For
You’ll be a great fit if you:
- Have proven private sector, SMEs or consultancy experience within the UK
- Are commercially minded, pragmatic, and confident in making judgement calls
- Enjoy autonomy and can manage ambiguity without needing close supervision
- Are a natural relationship builder with good energy and credibility
- Are ambitious, proactive, and see consultancy as a long-term career path
- Enjoy variety, pace, and being out with clients
- Hold a full UK driving licence and have access to your own car, and are happy to travel to client sites
Why Join?
You’ll work directly with a highly experienced and supportive CEO, within a small, close-knit team that genuinely wants each other to succeed. There’s no hierarchy for the sake of it, no micromanagement, and no ego - just a collaborative environment where good work is recognised, and people are trusted to deliver. Oh, and having fun while you’re at it goes a long way 😉
If you’re looking for a role where you can own your work, build real relationships, and grow with the business, we’d love to hear from you. This one has a super quick turnaround, so apply now or email kelsie.patterson@symedrummond.co.uk for more details.
