Services

I provide senior HR and people support for organisations that need clear, experienced input particularly when things feel complex, sensitive, or high-stakes.

My work focuses on helping leaders make sound people decisions, steady their organisations, and avoid problems escalating unnecessarily.

This is a very broad overview of what I do.

If you don't see exactly what you'd like support with
Maybe you'd like a blend of two or more,
Or you're looking at a bit of a "pick & mix",

Please just get in touch.

Everything is completely flexible according to what's needed, and we'll explore that when we chat.

All work can be undertaken on a retained, project or ad-hoc basis
(the nature and scope of some of the work may make it unsuitable for ad-hoc.)

Senior HR Advice & Decision Support

For leaders who need to make the right call before things go wrong.

I support founders, CEOs, and senior leaders with:

🧠 complex employee situations
🧠 performance, conduct, and capability concerns
🧠 grievance, disciplinary, and dismissal decisions
🧠 risk-sensitive people decisions

This is confidential, senior-level advice designed to give you clarity and confidence.

Culture, Structure & Organisational Design

For organisations that feel stretched, misaligned, or unclear.

I support organisations to:

🧱 clarify roles, responsibilities, and expectations
🧱address cultural issues before they cause harm
🧱 align structure with growth or change
🧱 embed values into everyday decision-making

The aim is a workplace that feels fair, clear, and sustainable.

Leadership & Management Support

For managers who need confidence, not scripts.

I help leaders and managers with:

💬 having difficult conversations, confidently
💬 managing performance and absence
💬 building confidence in people management
💬 leading fairly and consistently

This work strengthens leadership capability so issues are handled well, early, and with care.

HR Foundations & Reviews

For organisations that need to build, steady or strengthen their people basics.

This includes:
📄 Full values-based HR function build.
📄 reviewing contracts, policies, and processes & identifying people-related risk
📄 strengthening onboarding, probation, and performance processes
📄 advising on what needs fixing now and what can wait

Clear, proportionate, and focused on what actually matters.

HR Admin & Operational Support

For organisations that maybe don’t need a big project, just an experienced HR head to keep things ticking over.

🛞recruitment admin
🛞helping with a recruitment campaign
🛞PVG or SSSC processes
🛞training records, staff files, HR audit
🛞 payroll / payroll admin

Sometimes what’s needed isn’t a full overhaul, just a safe, experienced pair of hands for a while.

Training & Development

For organisations that want capable, confident leaders, not tick-box training.

I design and deliver training that helps leaders handle people issues in real workplaces. This includes leadership and line-manager development, difficult conversations, people management fundamentals, and bespoke sessions shaped around your organisation’s reality.

Training is grounded, thoughtful, and usable & focused on judgement, confidence, and consistency.

Care Sector HR & Workforce Support

For care providers operating under pressure in regulated environments.

I work with care organisations to support:

🏥 workforce challenges
🏥 people issues affecting quality, safety, and continuity
🏥 leaders managing emotionally demanding situations
🏥 fair, consistent people practices that stand up to scrutiny

This support recognises the reality of care and the regulatory context.
