• Ensure compliance with legal obligations and support affected employees and managers throughout the process.
• Lead collective and individual redundancy consultation processes in compliance with legal and organisational requirements.
• Prepare consultation documentation including scripts, FAQs, and outcome letters.
• Coordinate with Legal, P&C Business Partners, and senior leadership to ensure consistent messaging and risk mitigation.
• Support affected employees with empathy and professionalism, ensuring access to appropriate resources and support.
• Maintain accurate records of consultation meetings and outcomes.

What experience you'll bring:

• Proven track record in managing complex ER cases with discretion and professionalism.
• Demonstrable experience of leading TUPE processes and Commercial negotiations internally and with external clients
