Job description

Artis HR are partnering with a well‑established professional services organisation to recruit an HR Advisor to join their collaborative HR team.

This is a broad, hands‑on role supporting across multiple locations.

The HR team acts as a trusted advisor to the business, working closely with managers and partners to provide practical, proactive HR support across the full employee lifecycle.

This opportunity would suit an experienced HR Advisor who enjoys building strong relationships, working autonomously, and contributing to both operational HR delivery and continuous improvement initiatives.

The Role

As HR Advisor, you will be the first point of contact for HR advice, supporting managers and employees across a wide range of HR matters. You will work closely with the HR Business Partner and wider HR team to deliver consistent, high‑quality HR support.

Key responsibilities

• Providing day‑to‑day HR advice and coaching to managers across employee relations, performance management and HR policies
• Managing employee lifecycle activities, including onboarding, contracts, probation reviews and exit processes
• Supporting employee relations matters, including absence management, flexible working requests and investigations
• Working with managers on performance and development discussions and supporting formal processes where required
• Supporting the annual pay review process, including data analysis and documentation
• Producing HR reports and management information, including regulatory and internal reporting
• Supporting employee engagement initiatives, including forums, surveys, wellbeing and ED&I activity
• Reviewing HR documentation such as contracts, policy updates and employee communications
• Contributing to HR projects and continuous improvement of HR processes and practices

This role requires regular on‑site presence (around three days per week) across either Bath, Bristol or Swindon to build relationships and maintain strong visibility across the business.

About you

We are looking for a confident HR professional with strong advisory experience who can build trust with stakeholders and operate with a high degree of independence.

You will bring

• Proven experience in a HR Advisor or equivalent generalist HR role
• Strong experience across employee relations, HR policies and employment legislation
• Experience supporting organisations with 200‑500 employees or similar complexity
• Excellent communication and relationship‑building skills, with the confidence to advise senior stakeholders
• Strong data and reporting skills, including advanced Excel capability
• A proactive, solutions‑focused mindset and the ability to manage competing priorities
• Experience within professional services, legal, or private sector environments would be advantageous

Why Apply?

• Broad, varied HR advisory role with genuine exposure across the employee lifecycle
• Opportunity to work within a trusted and visible HR team that partners closely with senior leaders
• Collaborative working environment within a growing organisation
• Hybrid working with regular on‑site engagement

Salary & Benefits

The role offers a salary of up to £42,000, depending on experience, alongside a comprehensive and flexible benefits package. This includes private medical insurance, a health cash plan, pension scheme, life assurance and income protection.

Employees can also take advantage of a range of lifestyle benefits such as birthday leave, the option to buy or sell annual leave, gym discounts, cycle‑to‑work scheme, travel insurance, season ticket loans and referral bonuses, alongside additional perks designed to support both wellbeing and work‑life balance.
