This is a generalist HR Advisor role covering the full employee relations spectrum - absence, disciplinaries, grievances, performance - within a busy manufacturing and engineering environment. The business needs someone who can hit the ground running, not someone who needs six months to find their feet. If you know your way around UK employment law and can hold a difficult conversation with a line manager without needing a script, this is worth a look.
What You'll Be Doing
- Advising managers and employees on a broad range of HR matters, day to day
- Managing ER cases end to end – absence management, disciplinary and grievance proceedings, performance management
- Supporting recruitment and onboarding activity as required
- Interpreting and applying HR policy in line with current employment legislation
- Maintaining accurate HR records and producing management information when needed
- Contributing to HR projects and supporting any organisational change activity as it arises
The Environment
A well-established business in South Yorkshire with a hands-on culture. HR here is operational, not ornamental – you'll be working directly with managers on the floor and expected to provide practical, clear guidance rather than theoretical advice. The team is small and the workload is varied.

Essential:
- Solid background in a generalist HR Advisor role
- Strong working knowledge of UK employment law and current HR best practice
- Demonstrable experience handling ER cases independently
- Ability to manage a varied caseload and prioritise without being micromanaged
- Clear, confident communication skills – written and verbal
Desirable:
- CIPD Level 5 or above
- Experience working within a manufacturing, engineering, or industrial setting
What's On Offer
- Salary of £30,000 to £35,000 depending on experience
- Full-time hours
- Fixed-term contract – length to be confirmed at interview stage
- Immediate or near-immediate start available
