Are you an experienced HR Advisor with a solid background in employee relations, looking for your next opportunity?

We are working with a growing business that is seeking an immediately available HR professional to join them on an initial 6-month contract. This is an exciting time to join a company that's scaling and evolving your input will make a real difference.

Location: 90% remote

Travel: Occasional site visits (approx. 10%) across Hertfordshire, Essex, and Kent - must be based in the South East region

What we're looking for:

• A confident HR Advisor with strong employee relations experience, including leading on complex grievance and disciplinary cases with line managers
• Able to support across a broad range of generalist HR activities, including policy work, onboarding, absence management, performance processes, and day-to-day HR operations
• Comfortable working in multi-site environments such as retail, hospitality, leisure, FMCG, manufacturing, or distribution
• Able to balance business-as-usual HR with project work in a dynamic, scale-up environment
• Experience using ADP HR/payroll systems is a distinct advantage
