Job description

Are you a confident, solutions-focused HR professional ready to step into a high-impact generalist role? We're partnering with a leading professional services firm in Tunbridge Wells to find a Senior HR Advisor who brings a strong mix of employee relations expertise, talent acquisition experience, and a proactive approach to HR delivery.

In this permanent, full-time role, you'll be a key member of a collaborative HR team, working across the full employee lifecycle, handling everything from ER casework to recruitment campaigns and early careers initiatives. Whether it's guiding managers through complex people matters, designing engaging work experience programmes, or representing the firm at careers events, your work will help shape a high-performing, inclusive workplace.

This is more than a traditional advisory role, you'll be a trusted partner to the business, delivering hands-on support and driving forward key people priorities. In return, you'll join a firm that genuinely values work-life balance, offers hybrid working, and invests in the professional development of its people.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Leading end-to-end recruitment for a range of roles, with a focus on quality and culture fit
• Managing employee relations matters with confidence and professionalism
• Coordinating graduate, intern, and work placement programmes, and attending careers fairs
• Advising on HR policy, performance management, and day-to-day people queries
• Supporting wider people initiatives aligned to the firm's People Strategy and business goals
• Partnering with leaders to deliver consistent, high-quality HR support across the firm

What We're Looking For:

• A strong HR generalist with proven experience across ER, recruitment, and early careers
• Experience within a professional services or LLP environment (Legal, FS, Accountancy, etc.)
• CIPD qualified (or working towards), with up-to-date HR and employment law knowledge
• Able to manage multiple priorities, deadlines, and stakeholders with ease
• Resilient, proactive, and approachable with the credibility to build trusted relationships
• A strong sense of integrity, confidentiality, and attention to detail
