Why this role?

Because this business genuinely invests in its people.

You'll join a supportive HR team where you'll have the opportunity to broaden your experience across recruitment, employee relations, engagement, reward and continuous improvement projects.

• Supporting recruitment and onboarding activity
• Driving wellbeing and engagement initiatives across the site
• Advising managers on employment law and HR best practice
• Supporting reward activities, including annual bonus processes
• Getting involved in HR projects that improve the employee experience

• You'll already be working as an HR Advisor or in a similar generalist HR role in a fast paced environment- Food Manufacturing experience would be a real advantage
• Enjoys being out on the shop floor, not hidden behind a desk
• Has solid employee relations experience and is confident coaching managers
• Can build credibility with people at every level of the business
• Takes a pragmatic, common-sense approach to HR rather than relying purely on policy
