HR Support & Consultancy in Portsmouth
Local, practical HR advice from a consultant based right here in the city.
HR Support With Local Expertise
Home of HR is based in Southsea, and most of the businesses I work with are within a few miles of here, restaurants, gyms, trades, accountants, and growing companies across Portsmouth. That matters more than it sounds. When you're dealing with a difficult employee situation, you want someone who can pick up the phone, talk it through in plain English, and come and sit in the room with you if that's what it takes.
As a Chartered Member of the CIPD with over 11 years' experience across the public and private sectors, I provide Portsmouth businesses with everything from day-to-day HR advice to full audits, recruitment support, and formal meeting support without the cost of an in-house HR team.

Our Services
Employee Relations
I can advise on all employee issues you may face as a small or medium sized business.
Recruitment & Interviewing
As an experienced Recruitment Consultant I can support you during the recruitment and interview process
Performance Management
Every organisation needs to manage an employees’ performance, whether this be for a good or bad reason.
Who I Work With
Most of my clients are small and medium sized Portsmouth businesses without an HR department of their own — hospitality groups managing busy teams across multiple sites, trades and construction firms getting contracts and policies properly in place, and professional services businesses who want an expert on hand when employee issues come up. Whatever your setup, the starting point is the same: understanding your business first, then giving you practical advice you can actually use.

From employee issues to wider policy 'need to knows' it's so great to have Alice on hand to talk in plain English... I would highly recommend their services to any independent business without an HR team of their own."
