Job Overview

About The Role

We’re looking for a confident, experienced HR Advisor to join our team and help us to continue building a brilliant place to work. You’ll play a key role in supporting managers and colleagues across the business, especially in our fast-paced warehouse environment, providing trusted advice, driving consistency, and keeping us on the right side of policy and employment law.

This is a role for someone who’s as comfortable with processes as they are with people. You’ll be the first point of contact for HR queries, a coach to our line managers, and play a crucial role in ensuring a seamless colleague experience.

Here's What You Can Expect To Be Doing

• Providing expert advice on employee relations, including disciplinaries, grievances, absence, wellbeing, and performance.
• Coaching and supporting managers to handle people matters confidently and consistently.
• Supporting recruitment, onboarding, and induction alongside the HR & Recruitment Assistant.
• Ensuring HR policies, procedures, and documentation are legally compliant, up to date, upheld, and clearly communicated.
• Collaborate with managers to identify training needs and work with the wider People Team to devise and deliver HR-related training.
• Managing and maintaining accurate colleague records and HR system data.
• Contribute to key HR projects, from restructures to process improvements.
• Helping to create clear and consistent colleague communications across multiple channels.
• Handling confidential information with care, professionalism, and discretion.
  
  

A Few Things About You

• The role is based on-site at our Hazel Grove site, 5 days a week
• Previous experience in a similar HR Advisor role, ideally in a fast-paced environment
• Solid understanding of UK employment law and HR best practices.
• Strong interpersonal skills - you can build trust, influence others, and manage expectations at all levels.
• Excellent organisational and administrative skills - you can juggle multiple tasks and keep things moving
• A proactive, solutions-focused approach with a keen eye for detail.
• Confident using MS Office and HRIS platforms.
• CIPD qualification (any level) is desirable but not essential - the right mindset and experience are what matter most.
