HR Advisor

Are you an experienced HR professional who loves the people side of HR but is equally confident getting stuck into employee relations, policies, performance management and the day-to-day realities of supporting managers?

Isca Recruitment is delighted to be recruiting an HR Advisor for a successful and growing organisation based in the Exeter area.

This is a new role due to continued growth and an opportunity to join a progressive business where people and culture genuinely matter. Working as a trusted HR partner across the organisation, you'll have plenty of autonomy and the opportunity to make a real impact as the business continues to grow.

It's an excellent role for a proactive, commercially minded HR professional who enjoys variety and wants to be more than simply a point of contact for HR queries.

You'll combine hands-on HR support with longer-term projects, helping to develop people practices, support managers and create a consistently positive employee experience.

Responsibilities will include:

• Providing practical, commercially focused HR advice to employees and managers throughout the employee lifecycle.
• Managing employee relations matters including performance, absence, disciplinary and grievance cases.
• Coaching and supporting managers with performance, engagement, development and difficult conversations.
• Reviewing and developing HR policies, processes and guidance in line with employment legislation and best practice.
• Supporting organisational change, employee engagement, wellbeing, inclusion and retention initiatives.
• Using employee feedback and people data to identify opportunities for improvement.
• Identifying ways to improve HR processes and introduce scalable solutions as the business grows.
• Supporting workforce planning, people metrics and management development.
• Contributing to wider people and culture projects.
