Project Work

Practical, human, expert support for the things that need doing

Some work doesn’t need a retainer.
Some work doesn’t need a live problem‑solving session.
Some work just needs… doing.

Properly. Clearly. Without drama.

Project Work is for the defined, finite pieces of HR, people and operational work that benefit from a senior brain and a structured approach.

It’s for the things that need time, focus, and clarity to move your organisation forward.

Need something that’s not on the list? Hit me up! I may have something up my sleeve…

What I can help with:

Handbooks & Policies

Readable, human and aligned with your contracts and your culture.
No bloat. No contradictions. No 60‑page PDFs no one will ever read.

Recruitment Support

From job descriptions to interview frameworks to onboarding.
Helping you hire well, fairly and confidently.

Documentation Projects

Contracts, templates, manager toolkits, performance frameworks all written clearly and actually usable.

Training & Workshops

One‑off sessions tailored to your team, your challenges and your culture.
Practical, human, and designed to build capability, not dependency.

HR Essentials (for small businesses)

A practical, plain‑English session that teaches you what you need to know about HR so you can run your organisation confidently and responsibly.
We cover the legal basics, the common pitfalls, and the things that actually matter without jargon, overwhelm, or scare tactics.
Perfect for founders, small business owners and managers who want clarity and capability.

DISC Workshops

A practical, engaging session that helps your team understand communication styles, reduce friction and work better together.
No colour‑coded clichés. No personality‑typing theatrics.
Just clear, useful insights delivered in plain English, with tools your team can actually use.

This is for you if:

  • You have a specific piece of work that needs doing

  • You want clarity, structure and senior-level expertise

  • You don’t need ongoing support or a retained partner

  • You want things explained in plain English

  • You want work delivered without jargon, drama or overwhelm

How it works:

  • We scope the project together.

  • You get a clear outline of deliverables, timelines and costs.

  • I work at an hourly rate (except workshops and training which are priced differently) .

  • You get updates as we go.

  • Everything is delivered in plain English.

Rates:

Charities

£80 per hour (plus VAT)

All other organisations

£120 per hour (plus VAT)

Why project work?

Because sometimes you don’t need a partner.

You don’t need ongoing support.

You just need to get something done.

Properly - by someone who understands HR, the law, operations and importantly - the realities of running a team.

Project work gives you senior-level expertise, delivered with clarity, warmth and zero corporate nonsense.

Thanks guys!!"

    — Customer

  • "Being relatively new to becoming a manager, I had very little confidence and knowledge. Lucy's four sessions were full of laughter, learning and lots of fun! We all learned so much about management and it's certainly improved my skills as a manager, which will no doubt improve the team."

You have questions? I have answers…

  • If it has a clear beginning, middle and end it’s project work.
    Handbooks, audits, recruitment support, documentation, workshops, training, DISC sessions, HR Essentials… all of these fit.

  • Yes. If you’re not sure what the project should look like, we’ll scope it together.
    You don’t need to arrive with a perfect brief… that’s part of the work.

  • Often, yes.
    Some projects are predictable enough for a fixed fee.
    Others are better on an hourly basis.
    We’ll decide together once I understand the scope.

  • It depends on the size and complexity.
    A handbook update might take a few hours.
    A full audit or recruitment process might take longer.
    You’ll always get a clear estimate before we start.

  • Yes — and I offer a reduced rate of £80/hr for registered charities.

  • Most likely.
    If it’s HR, people, or operational work and it needs doing properly it probably fits.
    Just ask.

  • No.
    Most project work can be done remotely, with calls, documents and updates shared online.
    If you prefer in‑person sessions, we can discuss that too.

  • Easy.
    You can move into People Partner (retained support) at any time.
    Project Work doesn’t lock you in, it just gets the thing done.

  • That’s what HR Unblocked is for.
    If something is happening right now and you need clarity fast, that’s the place to start.
