Senior Hr Advisor

Leeds, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom
Recruitment
Immediate Start
£60k - £65k Annual
Full-Time
Senior HR Advisor – ER Specialist
Leeds
Hybrid
Financial Services
Are you an experienced HR Advisor who thrives in the thick of employee relations? Do you enjoy being the go‑to expert for managers, resolving issues with confidence, pace and professionalism? If you’re looking for a role where you can make a real impact in a respected, growing financial organisation, this could be your next move.
Why This Role Stands Out
You’ll join a high‑performing HR team that values expertise, collaboration and genuine partnership with the business. This is a hands‑on, operationally focused Senior HR Advisor role — perfect for someone who loves ER, problem‑solving and supporting managers through real‑time people challenges.
This isn’t a project‑heavy or strategic HRBP role. It’s about rolling up your sleeves, owning complex cases, and being a trusted advisor day‑to‑day. You’ll work closely with the HR Manager and play a key role in delivering high‑quality, pragmatic HR support across the organisation.
Hybrid working gives you the flexibility you need, while still being connected to a supportive HR function that invests in your development.
What You’ll Be Doing
You’ll be the first point of contact for managers across the business, providing expert guidance on a wide range of people matters, including:
* Managing complex ER cases end‑to‑end — disciplinary, grievance, performance, capability, attendance and conduct
* Applying strong ACAS knowledge, particularly around complex grievance handling
* Supporting restructures, organisational change and consultation processes
* Coaching managers to build their confidence and capability in handling people issues
* Supporting recruitment activity to ensure timely and effective hiring
* Leading on key HR processes such as performance reviews, salary reviews and probation management
* Delivering inductions, exit interviews and training sessions
* Acting as a subject matter expert for the HRIS (ideally Workday), ensuring accurate and timely updates
* Mentoring junior HR colleagues and sharing best practice
* Using people data and trends to support improvements and decision‑making
* Providing pragmatic, commercially aware HR advice that supports business goals
This is a varied, fast‑paced role where no two days look the same — ideal for someone who enjoys being at the heart of operational HR.
What You’ll Bring
We’re looking for someone who is confident, credible and comfortable working in a dynamic, commercially driven environment. You’ll need:
* Proven experience managing complex and sensitive ER cases independently
* Strong generalist HR experience across recruitment, performance, attendance, disciplinary and grievance
* CIPD Level 5
* Excellent working knowledge of employment law
* Strong influencing, coaching and stakeholder management skills
* Ability to communicate clearly and confidently at all levels
* A pragmatic, solutions‑focused approach with sound judgement
* High levels of resilience, initiative and accountability
* Experience using HR systems
* Ability to juggle multiple priorities and make effective decisions under pressure
Why Apply
* A respected financial services organisation with a strong people culture
* A supportive HR team that values expertise and continuous development
* A role where your ER capability will genuinely make a difference
* Hybrid working and a collaborative environment
* Opportunities to grow, stretch and develop your HR career
