HR Project Consultant; FTC)

Deter Tech's purpose is giving greater peace of mind to people and communities, every day – and that starts with getting the basics right for our own people. This role exists to bring our HR policies, employment contracts and supporting documentation up to date, consistent and legally sound across all six of the countries we operate in: the UK, Ireland, Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark and Sweden.

The HR Consultant will work closely with the Director of People & Culture, local HR contacts and external employment lawyers to review, rewrite and roll out policies, templates and contracts that are clear, warm and easy for managers and colleagues to use – while meeting current statutory requirements in every jurisdiction. The role directly supports the Group's ambition to standardise core People processes globally and to embed the new Group banding framework.

Deter Tech is a security technology company operating across six countries, with principal UK sites in Prestwick and Telford. We predict, deter and detect risk on behalf of the people and communities we serve. Our values – Committed, Inclusive and Ambitious – shape how we work every day: we are accountable and deliver excellence; we collaborate and build trust; and we never stop learning while winning in the right way.

This role will be on a hybrid basis – based at Prestwick, Scotland or Telford, England, with occasional travel to Deter Tech's other sites (Ireland, Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark and Sweden) as the review programme requires.

• Audit all existing HR policies across the six countries against current legislation, sector best practice and Deter Tech's values and tone of voice.
• Rewrite or refresh policies (for example disciplinary, grievance, family leave, flexible working, absence and conduct) so they are clear, consistent and easy for managers and colleagues to follow.
• Ensure UK policies reflect the Acas Code of Practice and current Working Time Regulations, and that country‑specific policies reflect local equivalents (for example the AGG in Germany).
• Build a single, version-controlled policy library with clear ownership, effective dates and a regular review cycle.

• Design and produce a consistent set of templates and letters for common People processes – offer letters, probation, disciplinary and grievance correspondence, flexible working requests, parental leave, and change‑of‑terms letters among others.
• Localise templates for each country's statutory wording and requirements, working with local HR contacts and external counsel where needed.
• Apply Deter Tech's brand standards consistently across all documents, so that everything a colleague or manager receives looks and feels like it comes from one organisation.
• Where useful, build supporting guidance (manager toolkits, FAQs, process flowcharts) so documents are used correctly and consistently.

• Review and update employment contract templates for all six countries, covering permanent, fixed‑term and part‑time arrangements.
• Ensure contracts meet current legal requirements in each jurisdiction (including the UK's written statement of particulars) and reflect the new Group banding framework.
• Coordinate sign‑off with external employment lawyers in each country before templates are finalised.
• Plan and support the process for reissuing or varying contracts for existing employees where changes are required, including clear, reassuring communication to those affected.

• Track relevant legislative developments across the UK, Ireland, Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark and Sweden, and flag where policies, templates…
