HR Manager

You’ll take ownership of day-to-day employee relations matters including absence, disciplinary, grievance, capability, performance and conduct, while coaching and supporting managers to handle people matters confidently and consistently. You’ll also support recruitment, probation reviews, performance and appraisal processes, Learning & Development, HR policies and procedures, employee benefits and the effective management of our HR systems and records. 

Working closely with the Head of HR, you’ll also have the opportunity to become involved in wider People Strategy and HR projects, helping to turn strategic initiatives into effective day-to-day practices across the business. The role will also involve providing guidance and support to the wider HR team and helping to develop more junior team members.

We’re looking for someone with strong generalist HR experience who is confident advising managers and managing employee relations cases from start to finish. You’ll need a good working knowledge of UK employment law and HR best practice, strong communication and influencing skills, and the confidence to appropriately challenge and advise managers where needed. You should be comfortable working independently, taking ownership and using your judgement to recognise when more complex or higher-risk matters need to be escalated. 

You’ll ideally be CIPD Level 5 qualified or above, with proven experience in a generalist HR advisory role. Most importantly, we’re looking for someone who is approachable, professional and collaborative, who enjoys building strong relationships across a business and delivering a positive and credible HR service.
