This is an exciting opportunity for an HR professional who enjoys variety, thrives on building great working relationships and wants to play a key role in delivering an exceptional employee experience.

What you'll be doing

No two days are the same in this role. You'll provide operational HR support across the entire employee lifecycle, acting as a trusted first point of contact for employees and managers while ensuring our HR processes run smoothly and efficiently.

You'll be involved in:

• Providing support on employee relations matters, including absence management, performance concerns and investigations
• Preparing payroll information and liaising with Finance
• Supporting learning and development activities, including delivering training

You’ll ideally have:

• Previous experience in an HR administration, HR coordinator or HR advisor role
• Knowledge of UK employment law and HR best practice
• Experience managing confidential information with professionalism and discretion
• Strong organisational skills and excellent attention to detail
• Experience using HR systems and producing reports
• CIPD Level 3 or Level 5 qualification (or working towards)

Experience within manufacturing, engineering or a technical environment would be advantageous but is not essential.

We're looking for someone who is:

• Approachable, supportive and relationship focused
• Detail‑oriented and highly organised
• Calm under pressure and able to manage competing priorities
• Professional, trustworthy and discreet
• Driven to continuously improve processes and ways of working

At Rivencore Global Solutions, you’ll be joining a business that combines engineering excellence with a collaborative culture. You’ll work closely with colleagues across the organisation, contribute to meaningful projects and have the opportunity to develop your HR career within a growing defence technology business.

If you're looking for a role where you can make a real difference, expand your HR expertise and be part of a team that values professionalism, innovation and continuous improvement, we'd love to hear from you.

We are committed to equality, diversity and inclusion and welcome applications from candidates seeking a job‑share arrangement. All applications will be considered fairly and on their merits.
