Location:

Hybrid – Yeovil office base with travel to client sites, with flexibility over time
Are you an experienced HR professional, HR Manager or HR Advisor and ready to take the next step in your career?
This role is not just about more responsibility, it’s about applying sound judgement, real people management experience and commercial thinking to support our SME clients, while developing into an HR Business Partner within a supportive consultancy setting.
You do not need prior consultancy experience to succeed in this role, but we are looking for someone with strong, lived HR and people management experience who wants to broaden how they apply those skills, with the support, mentoring and structure to grow into consultancy and partnering over time.
At Auxilium HR Solutions, we are growing our A-Team and are looking for an HR Operations Partner who wants to move beyond a traditional advisory role and start building a career in HR consultancy and partnering. If this sounds like you, we want to hear from you.
The opportunity
This is an ideal role for someone with a solid foundation in HR and employee relations, ideally gained in an operational or HR management role, who is ready to broaden their experience across HR operations, recruitment, training and management coaching, while working closely with experienced HR Business Partner Consultants.
The role requires sound judgement and the ability to think beyond process alone. You’ll often be supporting clients in real time, with incomplete information, competing priorities and pressure to act quickly. Knowing when to formalise, when to pause, when to ask the right questions and when to escalate for support is a critical part of the role.
You will work with a portfolio of SME clients as an extension of their management teams, providing practical, commercial and human HR support that helps their businesses grow. You will not be left to figure things out alone as you’ll be supported, coached and mentored by experienced HR professionals who genuinely want to see you succeed.
This role is very much about development and progression. As your confidence, capability and client relationships grow, so will your scope, autonomy and earning potential.
Why join a small consultancy like Auxilium?
Working in a smaller business means:
 
* You are known, trusted and listened to,
 
* You have direct access to decision makers,
 
* You gain exposure to a wide variety of clients and situations,
 
* Your ideas, contribution and value genuinely matter,
 
* You are supported as a person, not just a job title.
Working in a consultancy environment also requires a high level of personal ownership and professionalism. We operate with trust, flexibility and a strong focus on outcomes rather than rigid structures. This role will suit someone who takes pride in seeing work through, managing priorities and working collaboratively with colleagues and clients to achieve the right result.
We are proud to take a real, human approach to HR. We focus on enabling people and businesses to move forward, not putting unnecessary barriers in the way. We do not hide behind policy or jargon. We work in partnership with our clients, their leadership teams and their employees to deliver practical, ethical and commercially sound solutions.
What you will be doing
As an HR Operations Partner, your role will include:
 
* Providing day-to-day HR and employee relations advice to client businesses, with support and escalation to HR Business Partner Consultants where required,
 
* Supporting managers within client businesses with employee relations matters including absence, conduct, capability, performance and grievance processes,
 
* Working alongside HR Business Partner Consultants to deliver broader HR projects, change initiatives and organisational development work,
 
* Supporting recruitment activity for clients, from attraction through to selection,
 
* Contributing to training delivery on an occasional basis, with support and development provided if this is an area you want to grow into,
 
* Helping develop and implement practical HR…
