Job description

Overview

Artis HR Recruitment is working with a well-established business in Fairford who are looking for an experienced HR Manager to take ownership of their on-site HR function. This is a standalone role, but you'll also connect with other HR site managers across the wider business for collaboration and support when needed.

It's a great opportunity for someone who enjoys variety, combining day-to-day HR operations with more strategic input.

What You'll Be Doing

• You'll act as the go-to HR partner for the site leadership team, managing employee relations, performance, and attendance, while also leading on engagement and wellbeing initiatives.
• The role will see you supporting talent development, succession planning and workforce planning, as well as overseeing apprenticeships and early careers schemes.
• You'll ensure compliance with HR policies, employment law and best practice, produce reports on key HR metrics such as absence, turnover, and engagement, and line manage a HR Assistant to deliver efficient admin and payroll support.

What We're Looking For

• Proven HR management experience (manufacturing or commercial backgrounds ideal)
• Strong commercial knowledge with a business-focused approach to HR
• Confident influencing and partnering with senior stakeholders
• Up-to-date employment law knowledge, applied with a pragmatic style
• Highly organised, adaptable, and able to balance operational and strategic HR
• CIPD Level 7 qualified is ideal - Level 5 will be considered with the right experience

The Essentials

• This is a fully on-site role - there is no hybrid or remote working option
• Must be based within a commutable distance to Fairford
• Must be a driver due to location
• Must have existing UK working rights (no sponsorship available)

What\'s on Offer

This is a full-time position, offering the autonomy to run HR locally while still having access to wider HR colleagues for support - giving you the best of both worlds. You\'ll benefit from a competitive salary and benefits package, and the opportunity to shape and influence HR activity on-site within a supportive business.

While this is ideally a full-time role, there may be some flexibility for an experienced candidate looking for a slightly reduced working pattern (30+ hours).

If you\'re an experienced HR professional looking for a standalone role where you can make a real impact, I\'d love to hear from you. Apply today or get in touch for a confidential chat.
