Personalkonsulent
Norwegian to English
Bus/Financial
Human Resources
In this instance, the person is responsible for preparing a certificate of employment at an educational institution, to be signed by other, more senior staff. In other words, this is not an HR manager or director but a lower ranking position.
I'm dithering between "Human Resources Specialist" and "Human Resources Coordinator".
What would commonly be used in the U.K.?

Note from asker:
Too far up the ladder – take a look again at the position description in your first link. It would be an HR Manager or Director that would be setting policy as an officer, not someone at the level of "personalkonsulent". |
Thanks for all your effort. It's an eye-opener to see a position reporting to a manager described as an "officer". |

Too low on the ladder, I think. Take a look at the position description that Connie Bråthen posted below – http://www.studieguiden.no/index.php?page=yrker&yrke_id=23 |
Peer comment(s):

Two of my dictionaries translate personalkonsulent as personell consultant.

Note from asker:
Sorry, but that's a different type of function. A personnel consultant would typically be either an outside recruiter or a contractor brought in to advise an HR department. |
