About
Amanda Parvin, founder Ethical HR Solutions
Amanda Parvin founded Ethical HR Solutions in 2018, a business that combines her passion for employment law and human resources. Amanda wanted to offer a different kind of HR service: no nonsense, hands on, professional but yet personal, with strong values at its core.
Amanda cares about people deeply. It comes across every day in her work but also in fundraising for charity in her spare time.
She enjoys being active and has cycled from London to Paris to raise money for the Royal British Legion. Amanda has also written a children’s book called ‘Grab Your Wellies!’, the proceeds from which go towards charities for the homeless and abused animals.
In the workplace, Amanda believes in fairness and relationships built on trust. She is hard working, solution driven and treats everyone with respect and kindness.
Amanda is experienced in all areas of employment law and human resources, but enjoys in-depth work such as:
- Investigations, grievances and disciplinaries.
- Facilitated discussion and mediation.
- Employment tribunal support.
