HR Support Chichester

HR Support for businesses in Chichester

Running a business comes with enough challenges without having to navigate HR issues alone. MJV Consulting provides practical, responsive HR support to businesses in Chichester and throughout West Sussex.

Whether you need ongoing HR guidance, help with a specific employee issue or support reviewing your current policies and processes, our experienced HR consultants can provide the expertise you need. We can work alongside your existing team, remotely or in person, depending on what works best for your business.

HR Services in Chichester

Every business has different people requirements. You may need regular HR advice and reassurance, or perhaps you only need specialist input when a particular situation arises.

At MJV Consulting, we offer a range of flexible HR solutions for small and medium-sized businesses, allowing you to access professional support without the cost of employing a full-time in-house HR team.

Our core services include:

From putting your first employment contracts in place to dealing with more complex employee relations matters, our team can provide support that fits your business.

Why Chichester businesses choose local HR support

MJV Consulting offers a personal alternative to large, impersonal HR providers. We work with businesses in Chichester and across West Sussex, building long-term relationships with the people we support.

Chichester has a varied business community, from professional and technical organisations to retailers, hospitality businesses, manufacturers and growing companies. Each brings its own workforce challenges, which is why our approach is always tailored rather than based on a standard package of advice.

Clients choose us for:

  • A dedicated HR consultant who takes the time to understand your organisation
  • Straightforward, practical advice without unnecessary jargon
  • Flexible support that can increase or decrease as your business requirements change
  • A personal service from a family-run HR consultancy
  • Professional expertise and recognised accreditations you can have confidence in
  • Local and remote support, giving you the choice of how we work together

Our specialist sectors

Beyond our local roots, we bring genuine sector expertise that reflects the diverse and thriving business community across Chichester and the surrounding area.:

  • Professional Services – businesses providing accountancy, legal, consultancy and other professional services need HR processes that reflect their professional standards and working practices. We can assist with everything from employment documentation and recruitment through to performance, conduct and employee relations.
  • Hospitality, Retail & Leisure – recruiting and retaining staff can be a particular challenge for hospitality, retail and leisure businesses. We can help you establish practical processes around recruitment, contracts, absence, holiday, performance and employee management, including businesses with shift-based or seasonal workforces.
  • Property Sector Professionals – we support surveyors, architects, estate agents and facilities management businesses with the people challenges specific to client-facing property work. Whatever your sector, you’ll be working with a team that already understands your needs.

Keeping your Chichester business HR compliant

Employment law doesn’t stand still, and the Employment Rights Act 2025 (ERA 2025) is bringing some of the biggest changes UK employers have seen in years. For smaller businesses without an in-house HR specialist, keeping policies and processes up to date can feel like a constant moving target.

We help local businesses stay compliant and confident, covering:

  • Statutory Sick Pay (SSP)
  • Maternity, paternity and parental leave
  • Redundancy processes
  • Flexible working requests
  • Unfair dismissal claims
  • Zero-hours contract obligations

We’ll review your current documentation, flag any gaps, and help you put practical, compliant processes in place, so you can focus on running your business.
