Job Description

Group HR Manager Poole £42,000

As Group HR Manager, you'll take full ownership of the HR function across the business, not just administer it. This is a standalone role, so you'll shape and run HR exactly as you see fit, backed by senior leadership.

As Group HR Manager, you will benefit from:

  • Private health and dental care
  • Discretionary bonus scheme
  • 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
  • Genuine autonomy to shape HR policy and process across the business

As Group HR Manager, your responsibilities will include:

  • Leading disciplinary and grievance processes, ensuring formal meetings are documented accurately, while providing day to day HR guidance to Managers across the business
  • Creating, maintaining and updating HR policies, the employee handbook, data protection documentation and employee records
  • Managing end to end recruitment, from drafting job specs and liaising with agencies through to interviews and offer stage
  • Overseeing new starter, leaver and probation processes, including contracts, inductions and review scheduling
  • Administering absence, holiday and payroll documentation, including back-to-work interviews and training certification tracking
  • Coordinating annual Workstation Risk Assessments alongside wider HR compliance activity

As Group HR Manager, your experience will include:

  • Proven experience as an HR Manager or senior HR Advisor, ideally within a manufacturing environment
  • Strong working knowledge of UK employment law and current HR best practice
  • CIPD Level 3 (or above), or equivalent experience
  • Confidence managing full-cycle recruitment and onboarding independently, without close oversight
  • A track record of handling disciplinary, grievance and performance cases without hand-holding
  • Experience using PeopleHR or a similar HR information system would be an advantage

If you're ready to step into a Group HR Manager role where your decisions carry real weight, we'd love to hear from you. Apply today with an up-to-date CV or call Grace Hearn at Rubicon for more information.
