This is a hands-on regional HR role supporting a geographically dispersed workforce across the Midlands and South, with a strong focus on complex employee relations. The role will suit an experienced HR Advisor who is confident working autonomously, supporting operational managers and managing a busy ER caseload.

• Coaching and challenging managers to ensure fair and consistent outcomes


• Working confidently with recognised trade unions and employee representatives


• Supporting investigations, formal meetings and hearings


• Providing pragmatic, commercially focused HR advice


• Building strong relationships across a dispersed operational workforce


• Escalating complex cases appropriately and working closely with senior HR colleagues

Benefits as a Regional HR Advisor include:

• £40,000 salary + £6,500 car allowance


• Travel across the Midlands and South, including occasional overnight stays


• 25 days annual leave + bank holidays


• Free parking and EV charging

The ideal Regional HR Advisor will have:

• Previous HR Advisor experience within a complex operational environment


• Strong employee relations experience


• Experience managing disciplinary, grievance, performance and absence cases


• Confidence advising and challenging operational managers


• Good knowledge of UK employment legislation


• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
  
• The ability to manage a busy caseload and work autonomously


• CIPD Level 5 or equivalent experience

If you're an experienced HR Advisor with strong ER and trade union experience, and you're looking for a varied regional role with genuine autonomy, we'd love to hear from you.
