Who we are

The outsourced HR department you can rely on

HR generalist support, always on the employer’s side, with a specialism in employee relations and employment law. Senior expertise on tap, without the cost of an in-house team. We sit close to the business and turn people problems into momentum.

I didn’t want to build an HR company where clients were moulded to fit pre-packaged solutions. I wanted to understand the business, the people and the problem first, then work out what would genuinely make a difference.

What we do

Expert support across every HR discipline

Pick a discipline to read about it

01
Strategic HR

Where the people plan meets the business plan. Workforce planning, the measures that show whether HR is working, retention, and the systems that carry it.
02
Equality, Diversity & Inclusion

Meeting the Equality Act 2010, and building the culture that goes with it. Policy, training, monitoring, and lawful positive action, judged case by case.
03
Recruitment & Selection

Objective, competency based selection. Thomas International certified. Role design, attracting the right people, and choosing between them fairly.
04
Performance & Development

Induction, training, management development and career paths, with performance managed against goals people understand.
05
Reward & Benefits

Pay, incentives and benefits. Reward structures that work harder, tailored to your people for real return.
06
Wellbeing & Risk

Health and safety itself sits with NucleusHS. This is the HR side of it: health, wellbeing and absence, and the planning that keeps a business running when something goes wrong.
07
Employee Relations

Grievances, disciplinaries, appeals and exits, handled calmly and legally. Performance and capability too, for when someone is not hitting their targets or does not have the skills for the job. Policies written to the Acas Code, employee rights and data protection in employment, and working with trade unions.

Why NucleusHR

Five things you can count on

An HR department you can rely on

Executive level expertise and day to day support, without the overhead of an in-house team. Accessible and scalable as you grow.

A trusted extension of your team

Relationship led, not transactional. We learn your business and culture so HR reflects your values, not a generic template.

Confidence in the hard conversations

Grievances, disciplinaries, restructures and exits, handled end to end, reducing legal and reputational risk while protecting your people.

People strategy that drives growth

HR aligned to commercial goals: performance, engagement, retention and change, so your people actively contribute to results.

Backup for the HR team you already have

Picked up and put down as your need dictates. Cover when your own team is stretched, and training that builds them up for the long run.

Not sure which of these you need? That is usually the first conversation.

Step two of three

Transform

We put the right package in place, whether an ongoing retainer or a single piece of work such as a board level exit.

Step three of three

Succeed

We keep driving performance, engagement and long term success from the investment you make in your people.
