An exciting opportunity has arisen for a talented HR Advisor to join a fast‑paced, people‑focused manufacturing and food production business supplying leading retailers across the UK.

Working closely with the Site HR Business Partner, you'll play a pivotal role in supporting a large operational workforce and ensuring the delivery of an efficient, consistent, and compliant HR service. The site operates within a high‑volume, time‑sensitive environment, so your ability to manage multiple priorities and maintain strong relationships with both managers and employees will be key.

This is an excellent step for an experienced HR professional looking to broaden their exposure across the full HR remit — from employee engagement to ER case management, recruitment and continuous improvement. The business offers a supportive environment with professional development opportunities, including CIPD qualification support and structured career progression.

• Provide first-line advice, coaching, and guidance to managers and employees on a wide range of HR policies and procedures.
• Prepare and issue contracts of employment, variations, and associated documentation for weekly and salaried employees.
• Coordinate end-to-end recruitment activity including interview scheduling, offer letters, onboarding, and compliance checks.
• Deliver engaging induction sessions and coordinate “train-the-trainer” sessions for agency staff.
• Compile and analyse HR data and monthly KPI reports to identify trends and support management decisions.
• Track and manage probationary reviews, absence triggers, holiday entitlement, and other key employment milestones.
• Support employee relations activity including investigation meetings, disciplinary hearings, and grievance processes.
• Support learning and development activity including internal functional skills training, MHE certification, and health & safety compliance.
• Contribute to continuous improvement by reviewing HR processes, recommending efficiencies, and promoting best practice.
• Collaborate closely with agency partners to ensure full compliance with onboarding, right-to-work, and training standards.
• Support employee engagement initiatives, site events, and well-being campaigns to promote a positive workplace culture.
• Provide advisory support during audits and internal compliance reviews.

• Ideally CIPD Level 5 qualified (or Level 3 with a commitment to progress).
• Proven HR experience in a fast-paced, operational setting — manufacturing, food production, logistics or FMCG preferred.
• Strong understanding of HR processes and employment law fundamentals.
• Excellent IT literacy including Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and HRIS platforms.
• High level of accuracy, organisation, and professional integrity.
• Clear and confident communicator with the ability to influence and build credibility across all levels.
• Strong numeracy, data handling, and reporting capability.
• Proactive, hands‑on approach with the flexibility to adapt to changing priorities.
• Passionate about people, development, and driving a positive employee experience.

This is an outstanding opportunity to progress your HR career within a high-performing, forward-thinking organisation that values its people, promotes development, and encourages continuous improvement across every part of the employee journey.
