Primary service · Ongoing support
Your HR expert at the end of the phone. Without the full time HR hire.
Ongoing access to one experienced HR professional who knows your organisation and your managers.
This is for you if…
- People questions keep landing on your desk
- HR sits with an owner, MD, FD or ops lead
- You'd rather ask early than clean up later
The problem with reactive advice
Helplines often mean different advisers, lost context and having to explain your business from scratch.
What it covers
The everyday HR work, handled properly.

Policies & documents
Contracts, policies, handbooks and letters that fit how you work.

The proposition is simple: an experienced HR professional who already knows your organisation. Substantial hands-on work, such as investigations, redundancy or TUPE programmes, larger projects and employee-facing meetings, is scoped and agreed separately.
How it works
Straightforward from the first conversation.
- 01
A conversation
Your organisation, your people, what's causing you work.
- 02
A clear proposal
What's included and what would be scoped separately, in writing.
- 03
Ongoing support
Ask as things come up. We review as you change.
