A friend of mine who’s a counsellor has a client who is attending a hearing on 10th November for a gross misconduct case. I don’t know the ins and outs, but this client isn’t a union member and doesn’t have anyone they trust to accompany them to the hearing and is looking for someone with an HR background who might play this role. They are willing to pay.

I’ve never heard of this kind of thing before (ie independent representation that’s unknown to the employee), but I thought I’d post the question here on the off chance that you, or someone you know, might be able to help.
