Quick overview
Job description
Our client requires a highly capable, autonomous HR Advisor or Senior HR Advisor to join an established team on an immediate temporary basis.
Whilst the temporary assignment is to cover a HR Advisor level position, the client is seeking a Senior HR Advisor to join the team on a permanent basis.
This is a fast-paced, hands-on role designed for a professional who can hit the ground running. This is not an administrative HR position. You will immediately take ownership of casework.
Due to the rural office location, having a valid driving license and your own transport is strictly required.
This is not a hybrid position and requires an experienced individual who thrives in a hands-on role working on a daily basis with a supportive and productive team.
Duties:
- ER Casework Management: Manage active and sometimes complex Employee Relations (ER) cases from inception to resolution, including disciplinaries, grievances, absence management, and performance capability
- Immediate Impact: Step directly into operations to alleviate current casework pressures without requiring extensive training or hand-holding
- Policy Application: Provide accurate, high-level HR advice to line managers in line with current UK employment law and organisational policy
Benefits:
- 38,000 - 40,000 per annum HR Advisor
- Up to 49,000 per annum Senior HR Advisor
- 25 days' annual leave plus bank holidays
Experience required:
For Permanent Senior HR Advisor Consideration:
- CIPD Level 5 required as an absolute minimum
- Extensive, demonstrable experience leading ER casework independently
For Temporary Consideration:
- Formal qualifications are highly desired, but secondary to proven, heavyweight ER experience and the ability to manage casework immediately
- Clean Criminal Record: Must have no criminal convictions
- DBS Check: A clean Enhanced DBS check is required. If you do not possess a current, transferable DBS check, a risk assessment will be carried out whilst DBS check is carried out
Please bear in mind that you may not hear from us straight away. Due to the high level of applications, we receive every day, we can only respond to applicants whose skills and qualifications are suitable for this position.
