Looking for a varied HR role where you can get involved in more than one area of the employee lifecycle?

We're recruiting for an HR Generalist to join an established and growing business, offering the opportunity to work closely with managers and employees across multiple locations.

This is a hands-on, people-focused opportunity where you'll be involved in everything from employee relations and performance management to recruitment, onboarding, training and employee wellbeing.

You'll be joining a supportive team where you'll have the opportunity to build relationships across the business, contribute your ideas and continue developing your HR experience.

Whether you're already working in a generalist HR position or you're an experienced HR Advisor or HR Officer looking for a new challenge, we'd love to hear from you.

What Will You Be Doing?

As an HR Generalist, you'll provide practical HR support and guidance to managers and employees, helping them navigate day-to-day people matters while ensuring policies and procedures are followed consistently.

Your responsibilities will include:

Acting as a key point of contact for managers and employees, providing advice and guidance on HR queries
Supporting employee relations matters including disciplinaries, grievances, absence and performance management
Advising managers on HR policies, procedures and UK employment legislation
Managing recruitment and onboarding activities, including contracts, right-to-work checks and inductions
Supporting training, development and employee performance initiatives
Maintaining accurate employee records, HR systems and documentation
Getting involved in employee engagement, wellbeing and inclusion initiatives
Supporting HR policy reviews and ensuring procedures remain up to date
Producing HR reports and management information
Assisting with organisational change and wider people-related projects
Building strong working relationships with managers and employees across the business
What Are We Looking For?

Ideally, you'll have:

Previous experience in a generalist HR role, such as HR Advisor, HR Officer, HR Coordinator or similar
Experience supporting employee relations matters, particularly absence, disciplinary, grievance and performance processes
A good working understanding of UK employment legislation and HR best practice
Confidence communicating with managers and employees at different levels
Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities
Experience working with HR systems and Microsoft 365
A professional, approachable and solutions-focused attitude
CIPD Level 3 qualification preferred, or a willingness to continue developing your HR knowledge
You don't need to have managed every HR situation independently, but you should have a good understanding of generalist HR and the confidence to provide guidance, recognise when additional support is needed and take ownership of your responsibilities.
