Part time Temporary HR Advisor (permanent position a possibility for the right candidate)

Mountsorrel, Leicestershire
£28,000 – £30,000 per annum (£35,000 – £37,500 Full time equivalent)
30 hours per week (flexible how these hours are worked)

Our client is a well-established civil engineering contractor with over 50 years of experience delivering complex infrastructure projects across the UK. We are looking for an experienced and proactive HR Advisor to join their 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 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.

This is a 30-hour, office-based position. The hours can be arranged across five days, or as a set four-day week.

Responsibilities:

* Acting as the first point of contact for employee concerns and advising line managers towards resolving workplace issues

* Keeping HR policies current, legally compliant and consistently implemented across the business

* Be the in-house 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

* Maintaining accurate employee records, including absence, holiday and family leave, using our Breathe HR system

* Supporting performance management and annual appraisal cycle, including assisting with development plans

* Agreeing and reporting on monthly on HR KPIs and providing minute-taking support in disciplinary and grievance meetings

* Coordinating occupational health referrals and bookings

* Providing general HR administration support across the business

The ideal candidate:

* 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

* Knowledge of Microsoft 365 is a must - confidence with Word, Excel and Outlook is important. Familiarity with Breathe HR or a similar HR system would be an advantage.

Please do get in touch if you would like to hear more.

Immediate start – with the possibility of a permanent position for the right candidate.
