About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Industrial Relations Advisor to join our team at The Next Step Recruitment Company. In an advisory capacity, you will collaborate closely with our People & Culture team and senior leadership, providing expert guidance on industrial relations and employee relations matters.

Key Responsibilities
