Your people are your greatest asset

But you don’t need a full-time HR team to unlock their potential.

Hi there!

I’m Kirsty, an HR expert with a difference. I work with small and growing businesses to help them create impactful people strategies that not only support growth but also nurture a thriving company culture. Think of me as your part-time, on-call HR expert, helping you build the foundations for long-term success—without the traditional corporate HR feel.

What I offer:

  • People Strategy Development

    Whether you’re starting from scratch or want to refine your existing strategy, I’ll work with you to create a bespoke, practical people strategy that aligns with your business goals. We’ll cover everything from talent acquisition to employee engagement and retention—focusing on what will have the biggest impact on your business.

    Examples:

    Facilitating a tailored strategy day to help you define or evolve your people plan

    Creating a people strategy from the ground up, ensuring alignment with business growth

    Tailored advice on managing and nurturing talent within your unique business context

  • HR Support for Ongoing Needs


    HR issues don’t wait, and neither should your solutions. Whether you need help resolving immediate people challenges or guidance on shaping policies, I’m available on an ad-hoc or retainer basis to provide practical, hands-on support for whatever comes your way.

    What this could include:

    Managing employee relations issues

    Creating effective policies and processes that reflect your culture

    Navigating tricky conversations and challenges with ease

    Providing HR insights that save you time and resources

    Facilitating workshops to upskill your team

  • Leadership and Team Coaching

    Your senior leadership team (SLT) plays a pivotal role in creating a high-performing culture. I offer bespoke coaching services for senior leaders, helping them enhance their leadership styles, manage stress, and foster team dynamics that drive success. This means you won’t just survive growing pains—you’ll thrive through them.

    Coaching Focus:

    Empowering your SLT to lead with clarity and confidence

    Cultivating strong, value-driven leadership within your company

    Providing insights and tools for navigating change and leading teams effectively

Let's work together!

HOW WE CAN WORK TOGETHER:

Project-Based Engagement

If you need short-term, high-impact HR support, we can work on specific projects that solve immediate business challenges, like facilitating a strategy day or implementing a people plan.

AD HOC RETAINER SUPPORT

For ongoing HR support without the overheads of hiring a full-time team, we can work together on a retainer basis, where I’ll be available to advise and support you as needed, covering anything from policy creation to managing employee relations.

Empowering your senior leadership team and high-potential talent is crucial for driving growth. My coaching services focus on aligning personal leadership styles with business goals, improving decision-making, and building confidence under pressure.
