About Us
Nobody’s Child is for the free thinkers, the dreamers, and the go-getters. Born in 2015, we’ve spent the last decade creating clothes that feel as good as they look for people that embrace individuality, live with purpose, and want to leave the world a little better than they found it. It’s been 10 years of creativity, growth, and bold ideas, and the values that guide us haven’t changed.
About You
Reporting into the People & Culture Lead, our dedicated People Advisor will play a key role in shaping the employee experience across our growing retail business.
As our People & Culture Advisor (Employee Relations Specialist), you’ll act as a trusted partner to our retail leaders and store teams, providing expert advice and hands-on support across all areas of employee relations and people practices.
You’ll ensure we deliver fair, consistent, and values-driven people outcomes while helping to build a positive and engaging workplace culture. You will spend your time at both our Head office and visiting managers and teams in store locations across the UK.

- Collaborate with the wider People Team on policy development, wellbeing initiatives, and continuous improvement of people processes.
- Support investigations and hearings, ensuring accurate documentation and timely resolution.
- Monitor key people metrics (e.g., turnover, absence, ER cases) and share insights to inform decision-making.
- Assist in delivering training and workshops to enhance manager capability across the business.
- Culture champion, leading with our core values at the forefront.
To hit the ground running, you'll come with:
- Proven experience in an employee relations or HR advisory role, ideally within a fast-paced retail or multi-site environment.
