About Me
HR expertise with a human touch.
I didn't start my career in HR.
​
Before I found my way into people and organisations, I worked as a soldier, serving my country in Iraq and Afghanistan. That experience gave me something a lot of HR professionals don't have, a real understanding of how people think and the ability to remain calm under pressure.
​
Understanding people is what drew me to HR in the first place. And it is what has shaped how I work ever since.
​
It is important to note that I am a HR consultant and not a qualified solicitor. Any advice and guidance I provide in not regulated formal legal advice.
I have spent over 10 years working across some of the most demanding and complex organisations in the UK, the NHS, emergency services, housing associations, defence, and the public sector.
Â
I have helped organisations through major restructures, designed new operating models, implemented HR systems, and supported individuals through some of the most difficult moments of their working lives.
​
I set up JC Consulting because I believe good HR support should be within reach of everyone, not just large organisations with big budgets, and not just individuals who can afford expensive solicitors.
​
I work with people who have been treated unfairly at work and need someone experienced and affordable in their corner.
What drives me has always been the same thing.
​
People.
​
Not processes, not frameworks, not org charts, though I know those well enough.
Â
What I care about is the person sitting across the table from me, whether that is someone who has just lost their job and does not know where to turn, or a someone who just has a bad feeling about something happening to them.
​
HR done well makes a real difference to people's lives. That is not something I take lightly.
If you would like to find out how I can help, the first conversation is always free.
​
No jargon. No obligation.
Â
Just an honest conversation about your situation and what the right next steps might look like.
