55,000 - 60,000 plus package

If you're an HR generalist who thrives on pace, variety and being close to the action, this could be the move you've been waiting for.

We're partnering with a successful FMCG manufacturer in Kent to recruit an HR Business Partner who enjoys operating at the heart of a busy manufacturing site. This is a role for someone who likes being visible, influential and hands-on, where no two days are the same and your impact is felt quickly.

Why this HRBP role stands out

• A fast-paced, high-performing manufacturing environment where HR truly adds value
• A true HR generalist role within a supportive, experienced HR team
• Genuine business partnering, working closely with senior leaders to shape the people agenda
• A role packed with variety, challenge and energy
• A business that lives its "one team" culture, ensuring people at every level feel included, involved and heard

What you'll be doing

• Coaching and supporting line managers to build confidence and capability
• Partnering with senior leaders on initiatives that drive engagement, culture and performance
• Supporting and contributing to policy reviews and organisational change
• Embedding a proactive, solutions-focused HR approach across the site
• Managing the full range of HR generalist activity typical of a busy FMCG manufacturing environment

What we're looking for

• Solid HR experience within manufacturing, FMCG or another fast-moving environment
• Experience of larger manufacturing sites, with confidence handling ER matters including grievances, disciplinaries and shifting priorities
• Resilient, agile and commercially minded, able to reprioritise with ease
• CIPD qualified (or equivalent experience)
• A natural communicator who builds trust and credibility at all levels
• Down-to-earth and approachable-equally comfortable on the factory floor, with external stakeholders, or influencing senior leaders

If you're at your best in a role where every day brings something new, and you enjoy balancing pace with people impact, this senior HR role in a busy FMCG factory could be your next step.
