About

Based in North Dorset, Jo has more than 22 years generalist HR experience including 16 years working within the education sector. She provides advice, support and guidance to small and medium sized businesses including Managers and Directors, Headteachers and Governors. Jo is able to tailor her service to meet the needs of your business and prides herself in providing personalised, knowledgeable and pragmatic HR support. We are approachable, honest and will work with you to find a solution, no matter what the problem – we will tell you what you can do, not what you can’t!

Few small or medium sized businesses, whatever the sector you are in, can afford or indeed need to employ their own HR professional. However, at some point you will inevitably need access to HR support and advice, that won’t break the bank – this is where Jo Blair HR can help! We all need our employees to perform well, attend regularly and make positive contributions to the success of your business. If you feel this is not happening, contact Jo for assistance, leaving you free to get on with what is important to you – running your business effectively.

Current clients are based mainly in Bournemouth and Poole however the location of the Jo Blair HR office in North Dorset means that clients could be as far afield as Yeovil, Salisbury, Weymouth or the New Forest – anywhere considered!

What We Promise You – 

What I require from you –

• That advice is sought before agreeing or terminating any temporary or fixed term contracts
• That you consult with me BEFORE dealing with complex issues to ensure legislation is adhered to (this is imperative if you have taken out your own employment legal insurance to ensure any future claims are covered)
