Job Description:

HR Manager – ER & Process Specialist

£45,000 - Bishops Stortford - Hybrid (3 days office-based)

We are looking for a practical, process-focused HR professional to take ownership of the Employee Relations (ER) function with our international client.

This role is ideal for a strong Senior HR Advisor ready to step up into their first HR Manager position or an experienced HR Manager. You’ll report directly to the HR Director, taking the day-to-day ER and recruitment workload off their desk so they can focus on strategy.

About the Role

You’ll be hands-on, managing disciplinaries, driving recruitment campaigns, keeping HR processes compliant and efficient, and supporting health & safety and facilities. This isn’t a “fluffy” HR role - you won’t be designing new wellbeing programmes or creating endless new policies. Instead, you’ll be refining what works, streamlining processes, and making sure everything runs smoothly.

What You’ll Do

• Own ER casework from start to finish, acting as the first point of contact for managers and employees
• Run full recruitment campaigns, from writing adverts to onboarding
• Keep HR policies, contracts, and processes compliant and up to date
• Support with health & safety and facilities matters
• Review and improve existing HR processes and documentation trails—no need to reinvent the wheel, just make it turn faster and cleaner
• Maintain accurate records so HR files are always audit-ready

About You

• Currently an HR Manager, Senior HR Advisor or HR Officer looking for your first management role
• Confident in managing disciplinaries, grievances, and investigations
• Process-driven with strong documentation and compliance skills
• Knowledge of health & safety and/or facilities management would be useful
• CIPD L5 preferred or working towards
• Comfortable in a straight-talking, results-driven environment
• Organised, detail-focused, and happy to work in a flat, hands-on structure

Why This is the Right Move

• A genuine step-up opportunity—move from Senior HR Advisor to HR Manager
• Autonomy to run your function with the support of an experienced HR Director
• No bureaucracy—you’ll be trusted to get things done
• Varied, practical role where your decisions make an immediate impact

Apply Now if you’re ready to take the next step in your HR career and own the ER process in a role where your skills will be valued and your results will be seen.
