You’ll be the first point of contact for employee queries and will coach managers through a range of employee relations (ER) matters.

• Quarterly and annual performance incentives
• Company trips, team lunches and social events
• Comprehensive training and opportunities for career progression
• Relaxed dress code

What you’ll be doing

• Help new starters settle in, understand how the business works and build confidence in their roles.
• Advise managers on performance management and help them resolve ER matters, including grievances, disciplinaries, workplace disputes, long-term sickness absence and redundancy. Support TUPE processes as needed.
• Guide managers and colleagues through wellbeing and family leave matters, including maternity and paternity leave.
• Develop and coordinate initiatives that improve colleague engagement.
• Support managers and teams through organisational changes and contribute to HR projects as the business grows.
• Work with payroll to make sure colleagues are paid accurately.
• Coordinate training, develop materials and deliver sessions where needed.
• Support the HR Administrator and simplify processes so they work well as the team grows.

What we’re looking for

• CIPD Level 5 qualification or equivalent practical HR experience.
• Experience in a similar HR generalist or business partnering role.
• Hands-on experience managing a range of ER cases and advising managers on how to handle them.
• A practical, adaptable approach and a willingness to get involved wherever the team needs support.
