HR Advisor in Sheerness

Are you excited by the opportunity of a Human Resources Advisor role where you can work collaboratively with managers and make a real impact to the success of a dynamic Port Cluster? We are seeking a proactive and people focused HR Advisor to join our team, based at our Port in Sheerness, also providing coverage to Great Yarmouth.

Your role will be a standalone, hands-on role where you will be given the autonomy to deliver key people plan initiatives locally. You will be the go-to HR contact on site, working collaboratively with leaders to enhance employee engagement and ensure smooth operational delivery. You will support case management and employee relations matters, including absence meetings and follow ups, as well as coordinating activities for the local Employee Representatives Forum. You will support assessment centres and recruitment activities, championing local HR initiatives and contributing to wider site projects.

We have ambitious plans to grow and transform the supply chain to benefit our customers. Our investments are decarbonizing our operations, which in turn is helping us work towards our goal of having Net Zero Port Operations by 2040. Much of our success depends on our unrivalled facilities and technology. But in our sector, it comes down to having the right talent to enable our organisation to grow.

What you’ll bring:

• Be a self-starter with the confidence to work independently and build strong relationships across all levels of the business;
• Thrive in a fast-paced environment and will be comfortable balancing advisory responsibilities with coordination tasks;
• Have a solid foundation in a HR Advisor role;
• Confidently advise and influence managers and lead activities independently;
• Be organised, proactive and passionate about people.

This role will be based on site in Sheerness 5 days per week.

• Peel Ports Flexible Benefits including salary sacrifice car scheme, healthcare cash plans, Cycle2Work Scheme, critical illness insurance, gyms, retail vouchers
• Commitment to learning and personal development
