We're working with a well-established, family-run business with over 50 years of experience delivering specialist commercial heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration services across the UK.

They're now looking for a HR Advisor to join their close-knit team and take ownership of a broad generalist HR remit. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys being hands-on, approachable and personable, and who wants to work in a business where people and relationships really matter.

The Role

As HR Advisor, you'll act as a key point of contact for managers and employees across the business, providing practical and commercially focused HR advice.

You’ll work across the full employee lifecycle, supporting both office-based colleagues and field engineering teams.

You’ll be comfortable working independently, using your HR knowledge to provide pragmatic advice, while also being happy to get involved and make things happen.

Why Join?

This is a genuinely flexible opportunity with a business that values its people and has retained a strong family culture throughout its 50+ year history.

You’ll benefit from:

• 4 days working from home and just 1 day onsite
• £35,000 - £40,000 salary depending on experience
• Flexible working hours - standard 8:30am-4:30pm, with flexibility around start and finish times
