Senior HR Advisor

Senior HR Advisor

Premium Organic Food Brand

Location: North London (On-site)

Salary: £38,000 – £42,000 + Benefits

Are you an HR Generalist ready to step out of a large team and lead your own function?

I am currently partnering with an incredible organic, artisan food manufacturer in North London to find a proactive, hands-on Senior HR Advisor
. This isn’t your typical corporate HR role; it’s a standalone position reporting directly to the Managing Director, offering you a seat at the table and the autonomy to truly "pave the way."

My client is a leader in the craft food space, blending traditional methods with organic principles. They are growing, and they need a people-expert who can balance the fast-paced demands of a production site with a high-empathy, culture-first approach.

This is a true 360-degree generalist role. You will be the face of HR on-site, responsible for:

• Managing the full recruitment cycle and creating a "best-in-class" induction and site-tour experience.
• Providing pragmatic advice to managers and coaching them through ER casework with confidence.
• Owning the annual employee survey, leading appraisal processes, and spearheading recognition initiatives.
• Working with the wider group to refine policies and ensure the site is compliant, modern, and efficient.

• You must be CIPD Level 5 qualified (or currently studying toward completion).
• Proven Generalist Background:
  Solid experience managing the 360-degree HR lifecycle, including recruitment, onboarding, and performance management.
• ER Expertise:
  Confident in providing pragmatic advice on disciplinary and grievance issues, ensuring all actions are in line with current UK employment law.
• Sector Knowledge:
  Ideally, you have experience within FMCG, Food Manufacturing, or a fast-paced production environment.
• Autonomy:
  Proven ability to work independently, manage your own workload, and handle sensitive information with total discretion.

This is a rare chance to move into a high-visibility role where your impact is felt daily. If you are tired of being a small cog in a big HR machine and want to be the "go-to" person for an artisan brand with real heart, this is for you.
