EXPERIENCED HR MANAGER REQUIRED – FMCG SECTOR
HR MANAGER
Based South West England
THE COMPANY
My client is a highly successful major food business with its UK operating division based in Gloucestershire. They produce a range of both branded and retailer brand high-quality foods which are sold through the leading UK grocery retail stores and leading restaurant and hotel groups.
They have a respected and admired heritage founded on product quality, investment and successfully growing their business by achieving considerable consumer appreciation through taste and adding value to various meal occasions.
As part of their continued strategic growth ambitions, they are now looking to appoint a new HR Manager who will take the lead on all people-related developments within their growing UK team.
ABOUT THE ROLE
This is a fully hands-on generalist HR Manager role that will require both strategic thinking and management of all day-to-day people-management issues.
Some of the key responsibilities include reviewing current HR procedures and policies, monitoring and managing appraisals, developing and implementing a leadership training programme, reviewing and managing the remuneration programme, managing health and safety records, supporting departmental heads with recruitment and maintaining/updating the company handbook.
The position will sit on the UK senior leadership team and so provides the platform to shape and develop future HR strategies and developments within this exciting and growing business.
ABOUT YOU
Ideally, you have progressed your HR career with at least five years’ experience working as an HR Generalist covering a range of people-oriented activities across a broad range of departments and job functions. Your experience could have been gained in any business sector although experience in the FMCG sector would be highly beneficial, and you should currently be operating at either HR Business Partner or HR Manager level. Either way, to be successful in this role your functional experience should include sales, marketing, supply chain and finance teams.
You are motivated about all things ‘people’, keen to support team members to help develop their on-the-job performance and lay down open, transparent, modern HR practices to help nurture and drive a positive, well-supported and modern business culture.
While we aim to respond to all applicants, there may be times where this is not possible due to a high volume of applications. If you have not heard from us within 10 working days, please assume that on this occasion you have been unsuccessful.
Closing Date for applications: 3rd December 2026
