HR Advisor – Manufacturing
If you're an experienced HR Advisor who enjoys the variety of a true generalist role, likes being close to the operation and wants the autonomy to make a real difference, this could be a great opportunity. We're recruiting for a well-established, multi-site manufacturing business looking to strengthen its HR team. It's a busy, hands-on environment where no two days are quite the same, and you'll have the opportunity to get involved in pretty much every aspect of HR. Reporting to the Group HR Manager, you'll be based at one of the company's operational sites, acting as a trusted HR contact for both employees and managers. You'll have the support of an experienced manager but equally, you'll be trusted to manage your own workload, offer sound advice and make confident, well-informed decisions. It's a genuinely varied role. One day you might be supporting a manager through a complex employee relations issue or conducting an investigation, the next you'll be helping to recruit and onboard new employees, identifying training needs or working on initiatives to improve engagement and retention. You'll also play an important part in supporting performance management, developing people processes and ensuring employee information is accurate and up to date for weekly and monthly payroll. We're looking for someone who: Has at least 3–4 years' experience in a generalist HR role.
Holds a CIPD Level 3 qualification or above.
Is confident handling employee relations matters, providing practical advice and supporting managers.
Can balance the demands of a busy operational environment while remaining approachable, fair and professional.
Enjoys building relationships and being a visible, proactive part of the business.
Holds a driving licence and is happy to travel if required (not frequent)
Experience within manufacturing or a similarly fast-paced operational environment would be advantageous, although it's your generalist HR experience, confidence and ability to build relationships that will make the biggest difference. Why consider this role? You'll be joining a supportive, established HR function whilst having the opportunity to take ownership of HR matters at site level. There's plenty of variety, exposure to the wider business and the chance to see the direct impact of your work. If you're looking for a role where you can be more than just a point of contact for HR queries, we'd love to hear from you.
