HR Advisor

HR Advisor – Food Manufacturing – Hull – £35,000

 

Not every HR role gives you the chance to help shape a team.

 

Some are about keeping the wheels turning.

 

This one is about helping build something better.

 

You’ll be joining a newly formed HR team with a clear goal: raise the profile of HR across the business and become genuine partners to managers, not just the people they call when something’s gone wrong.

 

The role

 

You’ll be providing hands-on, generalist HR support across a busy manufacturing site, working closely with managers to solve problems, develop people, and improve the employee experience.

 

No two days will look the same.

 

You could be coaching a manager through a difficult conversation in the morning, supporting recruitment after lunch, and wrapping up an employee relations case before you head home.

 

  • Advising managers on all aspects of HR and employment law
  • Managing investigations, disciplinary and grievance cases
  • Coaching managers to build confidence in people management
  • Supporting recruitment and onboarding activity
  • Reviewing and updating HR policies
  • Assisting with payroll and HR administration
  • Supporting HR audits and compliance
  • Helping drive a positive, people-first culture across the site

 

What they’re looking for

 

  • Previous HR Advisor or HR generalist experience
  • Confident managing employee relations cases
  • Good knowledge of UK employment law
  • CIPD Level 5 qualified (or working towards it)
  • Manufacturing experience would be a real advantage
  • Someone who can build relationships, influence managers and isn’t afraid to have honest conversations

 

If you’re looking for a role where HR is seen as more than just policies and paperwork, this is well worth a conversation.
