Careers at LighterHR

Join our HR Consultancy

At LighterHR, we pride ourselves on really understanding the challenges that our clients face and have built a team of HR consultants that provide pragmatic, proven solutions and advice, rather than “one size fits all, read from a script” guidance.

We do not operate a call-centre model; our consultants know their clients as it’s only by understanding the people and environment that we can really help businesses to accurately assess their risk and options when dealing with HR issues.

We employ all our consultants; we do not use freelancers or interims. We invest in everyone in our team to make sure they are the very best they can and want to be, and have every opportunity to develop their career within our company.

With our business growing continuously, predominantly from client referrals, we are keen to expand the team with experienced HR practitioners.

Roles that we are looking to fill at present are:

• HR Consultant
• HR Executive
