Job Advert

The Role

Due to an exiting period of growth, we are seeking an experienced, organised and confident individual to join our team as as HR Advisor.

This role is based at our Head Office in Ruthin and reports to the Human Resources Manager. The hours of work would be Monday to Friday, 08:30hrs to 17:30hrs. As we operate sites across Wales, England and Scotland, regular travel will be required to support managers and employees across the business. Applicants must therefore hold a full UK driving licence and be willing to travel as needed.

In this role, you will be responsible for:

• Advising, supporting and guiding managers on all aspects of the colleague lifecycle, including employee relations, employment law, contracts, disciplinary, grievance, absence, performance management and policy queries.
• Providing practical, solution-focused HR in person or via MS Teams and phone.
• Acting as a point of escalation and support for the HR Advisor and HR Assistant in their day to day activities.
• Coaching managers to resolve people issues effectively and at the earliest opportunity.
• Drafting correspondence and documentation to support colleague related processes.
• Managing a varied caseload while balancing multiple priorities and stakeholders such as compiling people related responses for Tenders and assisting with Subject Access Requests.
• Ensuring HR cases and queries are handled fairly, consistently and in line with employment legislation and company policy.
• Contributing to continuous improvement within the HR team and helping to promote HR best practice across the business.

This is an excellent opportunity for a proactive HR professional who thrives in a fast-paced environment and enjoys building strong working relationships. You will be passionate about delivering practical, people focused HR support while acting as a positive ambassador for the HR function. We are a small, collaborative HR team, so this role requires a hands on approach. Alongside providing HR advice and managing employee relations matters, you will be comfortable undertaking HR administration and supporting the day to day operational activities of the department. A willingness to work across both advisory and administrative tasks is essential.

What you will bring:

• At least 3 years' experience in an HR Advisor or similar role.
• Strong knowledge of UK employment law and HR best practice.
• Experience managing employee relations cases, including disciplinary, grievance, absence, capability, and performance matters.
• Proven ability to support managers and build effective working relationships at all levels.
• Strong organisational skills, with the ability to manage a varied workload in a fast-paced environment.
• Confident using Microsoft Office and comfortable learning new HR systems, with the business planning to implement a HRIS.
• Professional, adaptable and able to handle confidential information with discretion.
• Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel to sites as required.

Desirable: CIPD Level 5 (or working towards), multi site experience, Trade Union exposure and experience supporting HR projects or change.

This busy and varied role offers the opportunity to make a meaningful impact and contribute to continuous improvement within a progressive and successful business. In return, we offer a competitive salary together with learning and development opportunities to support your professional growth.
