• Act as the first point of contact for all employee relations matters, providing clear, confident advice to managers, leading investigations, and supporting disciplinary, grievance, and absence management processes.
• Oversee performance management processes, including probation reviews, appraisals, and ongoing goal setting, ensuring consistency and best practice across the depot.
• Support payroll preparation and administer employee benefits, liaising with external providers and internal stakeholders as required.
• Maintain accurate and up-to-date employee records, HR systems, and documentation, ensuring compliance with UK employment legislation and internal policies.
• Take ownership of the day-to-day use and development of HR, payroll, and performance systems, identifying opportunities to improve efficiency and strengthen processes.

WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE:

• CIPD Level 5 qualification
• Solid experience in a generalist HR role, with the ability to operate confidently and independently
• Strong, up-to-date knowledge of UK employment law and compliance-focused HR practices
• Professional, assured communication style with the ability to influence and support managers at all levels

AND FOR YOU:

• A pivotal HR role with the opportunity to add real value and shape how HR operates on site
• Support from a friendly and collaborative wider business
• Opportunity for hybrid working upon completion of probation period
