A Generalist HR Officer role covering the full employee lifecycle. Suits candidates with around 2-5 years' HR experience. Hybrid working from Belfast. Salary £32,000 to £37,000, depending on experience.
About the Company: Delighted to be working with a well-established, growing organisation that is investing in their HR function. This role sits within a business that treats HR as a genuine partner to the wider organisation, not just an administrative function and offers real scope to shape process and policy rather than simply follow it.
The Role: You will act as the day-to-day point of contact for HR matters across the business, covering everything from recruitment and onboarding through to employee relations and policy administration. Reporting into a senior HR or People lead, you will have genuine ownership of your own caseload and the opportunity to get involved in wider projects as the function develops. This role suits someone who has built a solid generalist grounding and wants breadth and autonomy rather than a narrow, siloed remit.
Key Responsibilities:
- Manage the end-to-end recruitment process, from job specs through to offer.
- Coordinate onboarding and induction for new starters.
- Advise managers on employee relations matters, including performance and absence.
- Maintain accurate HR records and ensure compliance with employment legislation.
- Support the development and rollout of HR policies and procedures.
- Liaise with payroll on starters, leavers and contractual changes.
- Support wider HR projects such as engagement initiatives and process improvement.
- Respond to day-to-day employee queries on HR matters.
- Contribute to reporting on HR metrics such as turnover and absence.
What You'll Need:
Essential:
- Around 2-5 years' experience in a generalist HR role.
- Working knowledge of NI/UK employment legislation.
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
- Comfortable managing a varied caseload independently.
- Based in or willing to work from Belfast on a hybrid basis.
Desirable / Nice to Have:
- CIPD qualification, or working towards one.
- Experience using HRIS or other HR systems.
- Exposure to employee relations casework.
Why Apply?
- Salary of £32,000 to £37,000, depending on experience.
- Hybrid working.
- Pension contribution and standard benefits package.
- Genuine ownership of your own caseload.
- Real scope to shape HR policy and process, not just administer it.
- Supportive team culture that rewards initiative.
- Clear progression path within a growing HR function.
