The Opportunity

This is HR where it actually happens, on the shop floor, If you want HR that's stuck behind a screen, this isn't it. If you want a role where you're genuinely part of how a site runs, keep reading.

This is an established business looking for a generalist HR Business Partner to be the go-to HR partner for line managers across a site of around 500 people. You'll own the full employee lifecycle, from the moment someone's hired to the day to day realities of managing a busy, fast-paced operational workforce.

This isn't a policy-writing, sit-in-meetings kind of HR job. It's hands-on, visible, and genuinely varied no two days will look the same.

• Managing employee relations casework end to end: disciplinaries, grievances, capability, and everything in between
• Owning absence management, including complex long-term sickness cases, with a practical, fair approach that balances people and business needs
• Driving performance management processes and supporting managers through difficult conversations
