Workplace investigator (HR)

Safecall is a trusted provider of independent speak‑up and workplace investigation services. We support organisations to surface concerns safely, handle sensitive issues fairly, and meet regulatory and governance expectations. Our work spans whistleblowing, misconduct reporting and complex workplace investigations, helping employers build trust, accountability and stronger organisational culture.

Safecall, the UK’s leading whistleblowing provider, is expanding its investigations team to meet growing client demand for support with workplace investigations.

We are keen to hear from HR professionals with experience conducting formal investigations into workplace issues. While many investigations are carried out remotely via Teams or Zoom, candidates based in the Manchester, Midlands and London regions are particularly welcome.

This is a hands‑on investigative role, covering the full investigation lifecycle — from initial scoping with clients through to the preparation of the final report. 

Your responsibilities will include:
- Agreeing investigation terms of reference with the client, in consultation with Safecall
- Creating an agreed investigation plan
- Reviewing relevant documents and procedures
- Gathering evidence and supporting material
- Interviewing witnesses and persons of interest
- Writing the investigation report
- Making evidence‑based recommendations

Required skills:
- Ability to demonstrate significant investigative experience within a police, regulatory, HR, safeguarding or social care environment
- Level 7 Advanced Professional Certificate in Investigative Practice
- Ability to make sound, evidence‑based judgements and recommendations
- Strong organisational skills to ensure adherence to agreed timescales and objectives
- A fair, transparent and proportionate investigative approach
- Application process
