Outsourced HR Services in the UK
Outsourced HR services give your business an external HR team. That team handles day-to-day people issues, HR documents and compliance with UK employment law, so you don't need to hire in-house.
At Neathouse Partners, that team is led by one personal HR adviser who gets to know your business, backed by our employment lawyers. You pay a fixed monthly fee based on how many people you employ.
What’s Included in Our Outsourced HR Support Service?
Supporting 1,000+ UK employers, from 1 employee upwards.
How our outsourced HR service works
We aim to be the HR partner you rely on, not a phone line you ring. Here's what happens when you join.
1. Your first call
Your personal adviser calls you to introduce themselves and deal with anything urgent.
2. Your HR audit
We review your current contracts, policies and practices against employment law and tell you what needs fixing first. We repeat the audit every year, so your HR keeps pace with the business.
3. Your documents
We draft or rewrite your contracts, staff handbook and policies around your industry, culture and size. No templates.
4. Ongoing support
You call or email your adviser whenever a staff issue comes up. They already know the background, so the advice fits your business. For higher-risk cases, we bring in our employment lawyers.
5. Staying up to date
You get regular legal updates, a weekly HR and employment law newsletter and client webinars. When the law changes, we update your documents at no extra cost.
Who is the best fit for our outsourced HR services?
- Business owners and managing directors with no HR person, who want someone to call when a staff issue comes up
- HR managers and HR teams who need a second opinion, an escalation point or extra hands on complex cases
- Finance directors and operations leads responsible for compliance, who want employment risk kept off the balance sheet
- Multi-site employers, such as care groups, who want the same advisers across every site
We work with UK employers of any size, from your first employee upwards, in England, Wales and Scotland.
Outsourced HR vs an in-house HR team
| Option | Typical yearly cost | What you get |
| HR manager | About £48,000: £41,500 average salary, plus employer National Insurance and pension |
One person and one view, with gaps during holidays and sickness. No employment lawyer. |
| HR administrator | About £24,000 average salary, plus on-costs | Records and admin. Not set up for disciplinaries, grievances or tribunal claims. |
| Neathouse Partners | A fixed monthly fee based on your headcount. Starting at £95 per month. |
A personal HR adviser, employment lawyers on complex cases, a wider team for cover, and documents kept up to date. |
Salaries are UK averages from Payscale (June 2026). On-costs use 15% employer National Insurance above £5,000 and a 3% minimum pension contribution. Recruitment, training and software would add to the in-house figures.
Why employers choose Neathouse Partners
One personal adviser
You speak to the same adviser every time, not whoever picks up the phone. Larger accounts get two advisers or a small team, always the same people
Employment lawyers behind them
Higher-risk cases get input from our employment lawyers, led by managing director and employment solicitor Bobby Ahmed.
Commercial advice at a fixed fee
We give you the correct process and the practical options for the outcome you need. Advice and drafting are covered by your monthly fee.
Outsourced HR for your sector
Your adviser learns the rules that shape your workforce. Each sector below links to its own page.
- Care homes and social care: CQC recruitment checks, DBS, sleep-in pay, sponsored workers and safeguarding dismissals.
- Dental practices: associate agreements, GDC registration checks and staff changes when a practice is sold.
- Hospitality: tips law, zero-hours staff, holiday pay for irregular hours and right to work checks.
- Construction: project-based and flexible workforces, site discipline and contracts.
- Manufacturing: shift patterns, absence and conduct on the shop floor.
