Job description

Are you energised by busy fast-paced environments and competing priorities? Do you enjoy multi-site travel? Our HR Advisor role may be for you!

We're looking for a purposeful and motivated HR Advisor to join our team, educating and coaching Managers on Best Practice, ER, HR Processes and Compliance, and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I).

We are open to candidates who would like to work a 4-day week; however this role does not offer any hybrid‑remote working.

About The Role

This HR Advisor role is essentially standalone with support from the HR Administrator and the wider Group HR team. You will be predominantly situated in Grantham (Sleaford, NG32), visiting our Ellesmere Port site (CH65) around two times per month.

• Assisting with Payroll

Employee Relations

You’ll assist with disciplinary and grievance procedures (including appeals), attending ER meetings as a notetaker, active HR voice, and coach, stepping in when necessary to ensure a fair, consistent, and objective process. You’ll also issue the appropriate letters to employees (e.g. meeting invitations, outcome letters, etc.), maintaining these to ensure compliance and suitability.

You’ll need to assist in welfare meetings when they occur, guiding our Managers appropriately on the most suitable approach.

Talent Acquisition, Onboarding And Probation

You will assist recruitment within Grantham and Ellesmere Port, liaising with the Group Talent Acquisition Specialist on role allocation. This includes candidate sifting, liaising with 3rd party suppliers, generating and issuing offers of employment and providing information to New Starters.

You’ll have the privilege of leading an engaging HR induction for New Starters at our Grantham site, issuing onboarding surveys and monitoring participation/results.

HR Records & Documentation

The HR Advisor will ensure employees' details are accurately captured within the system. Occasionally, you’ll need to run reports on the system.

Benefits

• Company pension
• Life assurance
• Free company products
• Free on‑site parking
• Food, retail, holidays, cinema, and gyms discounts
• Wellness programmes, including Employee Assistance Program and OnDemand GP service
• Free early access to pay scheme
• Salary sacrifice schemes

Requirements

The qualities and strengths we're looking for:

• Results‑driven individual, motivated by competing priorities
• High attention to detail
• Reflective with self‑awareness
• Conducive with the confidence to challenge
• Innovative with a growth mindset (improvement focused)
• Proactive with an effective approach to prioritisation
• Commercially aware
• Dedication and commitment to our business (common goal)
• Active supporter and promoter of Northwood's behaviours and values.
