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

• Must be happy working fully on-site in Fairford
• Must be a driver due to location
• Must have existing UK working rights (no sponsorship available)

What’s on Offer

You'll benefit from a flexible part-time working pattern (30+ hours per week), alongside a competitive salary and benefits package. The role offers 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 have the opportunity to shape and influence HR activity on-site within a supportive business, while enjoying a varied workload that mixes operational HR with strategic projects.

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.
