To maintain a high-performing, engaged workforce, they are seeking an HR Advisor to join a busy transactional People Team.

This is a remote role. Access to a London or Manchester office would be ideal for occasional in-person collaboration (around one day per week), but this is not essential - candidates working fully remote will be considered.

• Coaching managers to build their confidence and capability in handling their own queries
• Applying a thorough understanding of the disciplinary and grievance process, supporting the management of conduct and performance concerns
• Handling disciplinary activity up to and including gross misconduct cases, with confidence to escape where required
• Delivering training to line managers on key policies and process changes, including inducting and coaching managers into new ways of working
• Using management information to identify trends and drive action
• Maintaining accurate data records using Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint; experience with iTrent is beneficial

The Ideal Candidate

• At least 12 months' experience as an HR Advisor supporting a busy operation, with solid case management experience
• TUPE experience is essential
• CIPD Level 5 would be advantageous
• Confident managing a busy and varied caseload
• A strong team player, comfortable supporting colleagues and turning their hand to a range of tasks, including administrative support
• Someone who values getting the job done over hierarchy or status
• 12 month FTC (maternity cover)
• Up to £40,000
• Remote working, with occasional office access in London or Manchester desirable
