About the role:
We're looking for an experienced and proactive HR Advisor to join our support team. This is a broad, hands-on HR role where you'll take ownership of the full employee lifecycle, from recruitment and onboarding through to performance management, compliance and day-to-day people operations.
This is a 30-hour, office-based role at our Mountsorrel head office. The hours can be arranged across five days, or as a set four-day week.
What you'll be doing:
Acting as the first point of contact for employee concerns and advising line managers towards resolving workplace issues.
Keeping our HR policies current, legally compliant and consistently implemented across the business, working alongside our retained HR consultant and employment lawyers on legislative changes and employment matters.
Be our inhouse specialist on all employment matters, including advising on best practice.
Managing end-to-end recruitment across the business, including advertising, screening and supporting selection decisions.
Drafting and issuing offer letters, employment contracts and managing all pre-employment checks and right-to-work documentation.
Coordinating new starter inductions and ensuring every employee has what they need from day one.

You'll be CIPD Level 5 qualified (or equivalent), with at least two years of experience in a similar generalist HR role.
You'll be confident working independently, handling sensitive information with discretion in line with GDPR requirements and managing competing priorities without losing the detail.
You'll be comfortable having honest conversations with managers and employees when processes aren't being followed, and confident enough to hold the line on policy when it matters.
Strong communication skills are a must - you'll be working with everyone from site operatives to senior leadership, as well as external contacts including our retained HR consultant, employment lawyers, occupational health providers and other suppliers.
We use Microsoft 365 tools across the business, so confidence with Word, Excel and Outlook is important. Familiarity with Breathe HR or a similar HR system would be an advantage.Why join us?
This is a genuinely varied role in a friendly, down-to-earth team where your work makes a visible difference. You'll have real autonomy, a direct line to senior leadership, and the support of retained HR and legal specialists when you need it.
You'll report to the Brand & Engagement Manager, who provides oversight, support and strategic direction, but the day-to-day operational delivery of HR across the business is yours to own.
You won't be navigating complex employment matters alone, but you will be the only person whose sole responsibility is HR, so it is a great role to get your teeth into!
