Ready to take the next step in your HR career?

Axon Moore is delighted to be working with a growing organisation that is looking for a Human Resources Officer to join its supportive and busy HR team.

If you have your CIPD Level 3 and are looking for a role where you can build your experience, develop your career and get involved in genuinely varied HR work, this could be an excellent opportunity for you.

This isn't a role where you'll be limited to one area of HR. You'll gain real 360° exposure across the employee lifecycle, working alongside an experienced HR Manager who will support your development and help you broaden your knowledge.

You'll be trusted to get involved, take ownership and build relationships across the business — making this an ideal opportunity for an HR professional who is ready for their next challenge.

Why this role?

• Genuine 360° HR exposure – recruitment, onboarding, employee relations, performance, policies, probation and offboarding
• Learn from an experienced HR Manager who is committed to supporting your development
• Build your HR career in a role where no two days are the same
• Work closely with managers and employees across the business
• Get involved in HR projects, process improvements and wider initiatives
• Develop your knowledge of UK employment law and employee relations
• Join a supportive HR team within a growing organisation

What will you be doing?

You'll have a varied role across the full HR function, including:

• Providing day-to-day HR advice and guidance to managers and employees
• Supporting employee relations cases and ensuring advice is in line with employment legislation and company policies
• Supporting formal meetings, taking accurate notes and preparing HR documentation
• Managing recruitment processes from advertising through to onboarding
• Supporting probationary reviews and providing guidance to managers and employees
• Coordinating offboarding and exit processes
• Supporting the development and implementation of HR policies and procedures
• Maintaining accurate employee records and HR systems
• Keeping the company intranet updated with relevant HR information
• Supporting HR reporting, analytics and continuous improvement projects
• Providing general HR support across the wider function

What are we looking for?

We're looking for someone who is positive, organised, approachable and genuinely interested in developing their HR career.

You'll ideally have:

• Previous experience in a generalist HR role
• Experience supporting employee relations matters
• CIPD Level 3 – essential
• Good knowledge of UK employment law and HR best practice
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• Excellent organisation and attention to detail
• The confidence to work with people at all levels
• The ability to manage multiple priorities in a busy environment
• Experience with HR systems and Microsoft Office, particularly Word, Excel and Outlook
• A professional and confidential approach
• A genuine desire to learn, develop and broaden your HR experience

What's in it for you?

You'll receive a competitive salary and strong benefits package, including:

• 20 days' holiday + Bank Holidays, increasing with length of service
• Christmas shutdown
• Pension scheme
• Continued professional development
• Support and development from an experienced HR Manager
• Cycle to Work Scheme
• Long Service Awards
• Employee discounts
• Life Assurance
• 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme

The opportunity

This is a fantastic opportunity for a CIPD Level 3-qualified HR professional who wants to move into a role where they can really develop.

Whether you're looking to broaden your existing generalist experience, gain more exposure to employee relations, or simply take the next step in your HR career, you'll have the opportunity to learn, get involved and make a real impact.

You'll be joining a fast-paced environment, so you'll need to enjoy variety, be comfortable managing competing priorities and be happy to get stuck in. In return, you'll have genuine support, varied experience and the opportunity to develop your HR career.
Hours: 8:30am – 5:00pm, Monday to Friday

If you're ready for a role where you can develop your HR career, expand your experience and work alongside a supportive HR Manager, we'd love to hear from you.
