Job description

HR Advisor / Operational HR Business Partner

Temporary assignment: 3-4 months
Location: Nottingham - just 10 minutes from the city centre, with free parking
Hybrid working: 3-4 days onsite, with 1-2 days working from home
Hours: Full-time, with some flexibility available
Salary: Up to £40,000 DOE - paid weekly

I'm looking for an experienced HR Advisor / operational HR Business Partner to provide additional support to a busy HR function for an initial 3-4 month period. This role will have a heavy Employee Relations focus, so I'm looking for someone who can hit the ground running and confidently manage their own caseload from start to finish.

You'll be supporting managers across a range of ER matters including absence, performance, capability, disciplinaries and grievances, providing practical advice and guidance while ensuring cases keep moving. Alongside ER, there will be wider generalist HR support and day-to-day partnering with managers as required.

Ideal for someone immediately available or coming to the end of a contract who can quickly get stuck into a busy workload.
