A broad and rewarding HR role in a fast-paced operational environment

We are recruiting on behalf of a well-established business in the food manufacturing sector for an experienced HR Advisor to join a busy and people-focused operation.

This is an excellent opportunity for a capable HR professional who enjoys variety, thrives in a fast-moving environment, and wants to play a visible role in supporting managers, employees, and overall site performance. Working closely with the wider HR team and operational leaders, you will provide practical, proactive HR support across a broad generalist remit.

If you are confident handling employee relations, enjoy building strong working relationships, and want to make a genuine impact, this could be a fantastic next step.

The role

As HR Advisor, you will support the day-to-day HR operation across the site, helping to ensure people processes are delivered effectively, professionally, and in line with both company policy and employment law.

You will be involved in a wide range of responsibilities including employee relations, absence management, training compliance, recruitment support, occupational health coordination, engagement activity, and HR systems administration.

This is a role for someone who is happy being close to the operation, working with managers at all levels, and balancing hands-on HR support with wider people initiatives.

Key responsibilities

* Provide day-to-day HR advice and guidance to managers and employees

* Support and manage employee relations matters including disciplinary, grievance, conduct, capability, and absence cases

* Coach and support managers to ensure policies and procedures are applied consistently and fairly

* Assist with sickness absence management, return-to-work processes, and absence reduction plans

* Maintain HR systems and employee records accurately and confidentially

* Coordinate occupational health referrals and support managers with follow-up actions

* Support recruitment and onboarding activity, working closely with hiring managers and internal teams

* Help drive training compliance across legal, technical, and health and safety requirements

* Contribute to engagement, wellbeing, and culture initiatives across the site

* Support audits, reporting, project work, and wider HR improvement activity

* Build strong working relationships with operational stakeholders and act as a credible HR point of contact

What we’re looking for

* Previous experience in a HR Advisor, HR Generalist, or similar role

* Strong employee relations experience

* Good working knowledge of employment law and HR best practice

* Confidence supporting, influencing, and constructively challenging managers

* Experience using HR systems and managing employee data accurately

* Strong organisation and administrative skills

* Excellent communication and relationship-building ability

* A practical, resilient, and solutions-focused approach

* A flexible attitude and the ability to manage a varied workload

* Full UK driving licence

Experience in manufacturing, food, FMCG, agriculture, or another fast-paced operational environment would be highly advantageous. A CIPD qualification, or working towards one, would also be beneficial.

Why apply?

* Broad, generalist HR role with real variety

* Opportunity to work closely with operational leaders

* Visible role with genuine impact on site culture and people performance

* Supportive HR team environment

* Fast-paced and engaging working environment

* Early finish on a Friday

* Excellent opportunity to build further experience in a well-established business

Hours

37.5 hours per week
Monday to Thursday: 08:45 – 17:00
Friday: 08:45 – 15:45
