Job description

£36k - £38k DOE | Full time, Onsite | Newton Abbot

Join a well-established and forward-thinking organisation known for its strong values and supportive workplace culture. Committed to quality, integrity, and teamwork, this business prides itself on creating an open, honest, and collaborative environment where people can thrive and grow. This is an exciting opportunity to join a dedicated People team and make a meaningful impact on both employees and the broader business.

The Role

A hands‑on, varied generalist HR role for someone who enjoys people, variety and getting involved in a bit of everything.

If you’re an HR professional who likes a broad role, enjoys supporting people at all levels, and is happy rolling up your sleeves, this opportunity could be a great fit.

As an HR Advisor, you’ll gain wide generalist exposure and have support to build your skills, including progressing towards CIPD Level 5. This is a fast‑paced, friendly workplace where you can grow confidently, take on new responsibilities, and make a genuine impact.

It’s a role with real variety, perfect for someone who likes being involved in everything rather than restricted to one area.

Responsibilities

• Providing day‑to‑day HR advice and guidance to employees and managers
• Supporting ER matters such as absence, wellbeing, performance and policy queries
• Managing recruitment activity: drafting adverts, screening candidates, coordinating interviews and onboarding
• Contributing to a wide range of HR projects such as engagement, culture, training and wellbeing initiatives
• Ensuring accurate HR documentation, reporting and administration
• Working closely with the HRBP on continuous improvements and practical problem‑solving

Requirements

• Have CIPD Level 3 (or equivalent) and would welcome support towards Level 5
• Bring previous HR advisory or HR assistant experience
• Are comfortable working on‑site in a fast‑paced, people‑focused environment
• Have resilience, common sense, and the ability to juggle different tasks calmly
• Enjoy taking ownership and are happy to “pitch in” where needed
• Value a down‑to‑earth, collaborative culture without the pressure of rapid career steps

Manufacturing experience is a bonus, but we welcome candidates from other commercial sectors who enjoy practical, hands‑on HR work.

Benefits

• Competitive salary of £35,000 - £38,000 per annum
• Opportunity to make a meaningful impact within a supportive and values‑led organisation
• Ongoing professional development and career progression
• A collaborative and positive working culture with a focus on employee well‑being

If you want a role where you can get stuck in, build solid HR experience, and be part of an approachable, supportive team, we’d love to hear from you.
