You’ll also take ownership of recruitment and onboarding, prepare employment contracts and HR documentation, maintain accurate employee records and analyse HR data to identify trends and recommend improvements. With involvement in management training and wider HR projects, the HR Advisor position offers plenty of variety and the opportunity to make a genuine contribution to the business.

This opportunity would suit an HR professional with previous HR Advisor experience, a CIPD Level 5 qualification and a sound understanding of employment legislation. You’ll be confident advising managers, handling sensitive situations and balancing a busy workload, with the communication and influencing skills to build strong relationships across the site.
