The Encore culture not only attracts the brightest talent, but also industry recognition as we have been awarded Employer of the Year on many occasions. Our ambition is to be regarded as the most professional managing agent in the country - with a team of exceptional people who are energised by what they do. We are all about communication, collaboration, teamwork - and having fun while we work.

Are you a people-focused HR professional who enjoys getting into the detail while keeping the bigger picture in mind? At Encore Group, we are looking for an experienced HR Advisor to join our growing team and help support a positive, high-performing culture across the business. This is a varied generalist role where you will work closely with managers and colleagues at all levels, get involved in a wide range of HR activity, and play a real part in how we support our people day to day.

What you will be doing:

• Supporting managers with practical, consistent advice on employee relations, wellbeing, policies, and best practice.
• Keeping our HR systems accurate and up to date (we do rely heavily on Excel, so confidence here is important).
• Supporting the full employee journey, from onboarding through to exit processes.
• Managing key HR admin such as contracts, pay changes, and job descriptions.
• Getting involved in engagement initiatives, training, and wider people projects.
• Producing reports and using data to help inform decisions.

We offer hybrid working, with 3 days per week in our Cambridge office.

• CIPD Level 5 (or working towards it).
• Around 3+ years’ generalist HR experience.
• Strong Excel skills and confidence using HR systems.
• Great communication and relationship-building skills.
• A proactive mindset and the confidence to take initiative.
• A full UK driving licence (occasional travel between sites may be required).

Nice to have:

• A degree-level qualification.
• An eye for improving processes and finding better ways of working.
