HR Advisor in Croydon

Dalton Recruitment has a fantastic opportunity with a great client based in Croydon, who are looking for an experienced HR Advisor to join their HR team and play a key role in delivering a full end to end, 360 degree, HR service across the organisation. This is a varied and rewarding HR position where you'll combine HR advisory responsibilities with more typical HR generalist responsibilities, training and development activities which will help create a positive, high-performing workplace culture. Working closely with the People & Organisational Manager, you'll support approximately 300 employees across the organisation, providing expert HR guidance, delivering learning initiatives and contributing to key people projects that support business success. While there can be flexibility to attend important personal commitments as required, the role does require someone to be based in their Croydon offices 5 days/week but it is a very engaging, inclusive and positive culture where there is a shared sense of pride and importance in the services they offer.
