HR INTERIM SUPPORT

HR SUpport to bridge the gap

CHOOSE A TRUSTED TEAM
FOR YOUR SHORT AND LONG TERM HR SOLUTIONS

Navigating absence or periods of change such as restructuring, mergers and rapid growth can feel like an HR emergency, but it doesn’t need to be. Engaging HR Interim support from Quensh provides a flexible, fixed-term solution that ensures continuity in critical HR functions and reassurance for your wider team.

The Quensh HR team has significant experience working with and within organisations of all sizes — from small start-ups to multi-national brands — and we know that common across all businesses is the vital importance of trust and consistency.

Interim HR Support That works for You

Establishing HR Interim support is a straightforward process, starting with a conversation to explain your circumstances, timelines and potential contract scope, followed by a proposal from us that outlines everything we can support with.

Once agreed, we get to work setting up onboarding with your teams and begin supporting your business from the agreed date onwards.

You will be partnered with a key point of contact who can provide support on site, with the back up of the wider team of specialists.  

Our priority is your HR continuity, so we make things as simple as possible. We can work on a specific fixed-term contract, a ‘pay-as-you-go’ basis or an ongoing retainer agreement that has options for scaling up and down where required. The structure is flexible — you can choose the best-fit approach for your needs.

WHY DOES MY BUSINESS NEED HR INTERIM SUPPORT?

Restructuring, rapid growth or staff absences place significant pressure on your internal HR function and overload key members of your team. An HR Interim service bridges the gap, ensuring continuity and employee support when it’s most needed. Whether you’re managing maternity leave, unexpected absence, or a complex project, HR Interim support provides immediate access to experienced HR professionals who can hit the ground running.

Crucially, this service also protects your business from risks associated with compliance gaps, employee dissatisfaction and inconsistent practices. The risk to business of non-compliance far outweighs the investment in HR support for your team. It also protects team morale, giving your people the confidence that HR remains present, proactive, and in control.

"We had really positive feedback from DNV after our Stage 1 ISO 9001 audit. The Auditor commented that we had a ‘mature’ management system in place and that we were ‘ready for certification’. For Nøste to be in this position is testament to the hard work and effort of Ashley – she has provided exemplary support and we are delighted to have her at our backs. The Stage 2 audit is now scheduled and with Ashley’s continued support, we are confident we will have a successful outcome."

“The Scottish Water Health & Safety Team have been working closely together with Quensh on a number of projects, utilizing their ability to provide dynamic solutions to some of our projects. These projects include the review and implementation of Task Risk Assessments and more recently the development and delivery of advanced incident investigation and root cause analysis training to the H&S team as part of their skills development programme. The ability to work in partnership with an HSEQ specialist in Scotland has given us an additional support when needed as we build a culture where no task is so important that the time cannot be taken to do it safely. We look forward to continuing to work together as part of a flourishing Scotland.”

"We want to give some much-deserved praise to Sara. Our audit went smoothly and she has been great throughout the preparation process. Very rarely you get someone who has a “I’ll get it done” attitude in the role that she’s in, which is exactly what’s required for our business. Sara fits in well with the team and has a positive outlook on everything that’s required."
