McCarthy Recruitment Limited is seeking an HR Generalist to join an established and growing business. This hands-on, people-focused opportunity offers variety across the employee lifecycle and the chance to work closely with managers and employees across multiple locations. It is suited to an experienced HR Generalist, HR Advisor or HR Officer who is ready to broaden their experience and contribute to a supportive team.
About The Company
McCarthy Recruitment Limited is an award-winning, multi-sector recruitment business that believes people matter and is committed to helping individuals unlock their potential. We work with candidates to find opportunities that support their career ambitions and connect them with organisations where they can make a positive contribution. This role is with an established and growing business that values its people and offers the opportunity to build strong relationships across the organisation.
About The Role
As HR Generalist, you will provide practical, day-to-day HR support and guidance to employees and managers. You will help colleagues navigate people-related matters, promote the consistent application of policies and procedures, and contribute to a positive employee experience. The position spans employee relations, recruitment, onboarding, training, performance and wellbeing, giving you the opportunity to develop a broad understanding of the employee lifecycle. You will also contribute ideas, support improvements and build your confidence and expertise within a collaborative HR environment.
Qualifications
You will have previous experience in a generalist HR position, such as HR Generalist, HR Advisor, HR Officer, HR Coordinator or a similar role. Experience supporting employee relations matters, including absence, disciplinary, grievance and performance processes, is important. You should have a good working understanding of UK employment legislation and HR best practice, alongside the confidence to communicate clearly with employees and managers at different levels. Strong organisation, attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities will help you succeed. Experience using HR systems and Microsoft 365 is desirable. A CIPD Level 3 qualification is preferred, or you should be willing to continue developing your HR knowledge. You are not expected to have handled every situation independently, but you should be able to provide appropriate guidance, take ownership of your responsibilities and recognise when further support is needed.
Responsibilities
Act as a key point of contact for managers and employees, responding to day-to-day HR queries and providing clear, practical guidance.
Support employee relations cases, including disciplinary and grievance processes, absence management and performance matters. Advise managers on the application of HR policies, procedures and relevant UK employment legislation.
Coordinate recruitment and onboarding activities, including preparing contracts, completing right-to-work checks and arranging inductions. Support training, development and employee performance initiatives, and contribute to engagement, wellbeing and inclusion activities. Maintain accurate employee records, HR systems and documentation, while producing reports and management information as required. Assist with HR policy reviews, organisational change and wider people-related projects. Build effective working relationships with colleagues across multiple locations and help identify opportunities to improve HR processes and the employee experience.
Benefits
This opportunity offers a varied role covering multiple areas of HR, with regular interaction across the business and exposure to a range of employee relations matters. You will have access to ongoing training and professional development, learn alongside supportive colleagues and contribute to projects, policy reviews and process improvements. The growing organisation provides an environment in which you can continue building your HR experience and develop your career over the longer term.
