Reports to: Senior People & Culture Business Partner

We are looking for a highly organised and detail-driven TUPE Coordinator to take ownership of the end-to-end TUPE (Transfer of Undertakings — Protection of Employment) process across the business. This is a specialist role that sits at the intersection of employment law, people operations and cross-functional project management, requiring someone who can work accurately under pressure, manage complex data and communicate with confidence across all levels of the organisation.

Working closely with stakeholders across Operations, Mobilisation, Recruitment, Payroll and the wider People & Culture team, you will ensure that every transfer — whether into or out of the organisation — is handled compliantly, consistently and with genuine care for the employee experience. No two TUPE transfers are the same, and this role demands someone who thrives on complexity, takes ownership of their workstreams, and brings calm professionalism to even the most time-critical situations.
