HR Advisor

What will you be doing?

You’ll have a broad HR remit, including:

• Advising and supporting managers with employee relations, including absence, disciplinary, grievance, capability and performance matters
• Coaching managers to build their confidence in dealing with people issues
• Supporting recruitment from vacancy through to onboarding, helping us attract and welcome great people into the business
• Coordinating new starter processes and helping deliver a positive onboarding experience
• Supporting short and long-term absence and wellbeing cases
• Preparing HR documentation including contracts, letters and employee correspondence
• Maintaining accurate HR systems and employee records
• Supporting learning and development activity across the business
• Getting involved in our employee engagement, wellbeing, recognition and inclusion initiatives
• Supporting employee communications, surveys and resulting action plans
• Helping review and improve HR policies, processes and ways of working
• Supporting organisational change and consultation activity when required
• Working with the HR Manager on wider HR projects and people initiatives

Most importantly, you’ll be a visible, approachable and trusted HR presence for our people.

What are we looking for?

You’ll ideally already have experience working as an HR Advisor or in a similar generalist HR role.

We’d particularly like to hear from you if you have:

• Good working knowledge of UK employment law and HR best practice
• Experience supporting employee relations cases
• Experience of recruitment and onboarding
• Confidence advising, coaching and constructively challenging managers
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to juggle competing priorities
• A pragmatic, solutions-focused approach
• The confidence to work independently while also being a strong team player
• Good attention to detail and confidence working with HR systems and Microsoft Office

A CIPD Level 5 qualification, or working towards one, would be advantageous, as would previous experience within a manufacturing or operational environment.

Why join us?

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who wants real breadth and exposure across HR.

You’ll have the opportunity to work closely with managers and employees, influence how we do things and contribute to HR initiatives that make a difference to our people and our business.

You’ll be joining a business where our values of:

CARE | LEARN | EMPOWER | ADAPT | RESPECT

are at the heart of how we work.
