Senior HR Advisor - 12-Month FTC (Hybrid)

£35,000- £40,000 + Benefits

Huyton

Hybrid (4 in/1 from home)

Are you an experienced Senior HR Advisor looking for your next challenge? We're partnering with a growing organisation to recruit a Senior HR Advisor on a 12-month fixed-term contract.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a confident HR generalist who thrives in a fast-paced, operational environment and enjoys working closely with managers to deliver a first-class people service. This role has designed to be a brilliant bridge to a future HR Business Partner role.

The Role

Working as part of an established HR team, you'll provide hands-on support across the full employee lifecycle. No two days will be the same, and you'll play a key role in driving positive employee relations, supporting managers, and ensuring HR operations run smoothly.

Key responsibilities include:

• Managing ER cases end-to-end, including disciplinary, grievance, absence and capability

• Coaching managers on HR best practice and legislation

• Supporting workforce planning and organisational change

• Leading the recruitment process for a range of roles

• Overseeing onboarding, probation and employee experience

• Supporting performance reviews and development cycles

• Ensuring HR compliance, GDPR standards and accurate record-keeping

• Coordinating engagement activities and people-related forums

• Preparing monthly payroll changes and supporting audits where required

About You

We're looking for someone who brings credibility, confidence and excellent communication skills. You'll be CIPD Level 5 or working towards, with strong HR Advisory experience-ideally within a fast-moving, operational or industrial setting.

You will also bring:

• Solid knowledge of UK employment law

• Proven ER case management experience

• Strong analytical skills and attention to detail

• A pragmatic, solutions-focused approach

• Confidence coaching and influencing managers at all levels

Experience within a unionised environment is desirable but not essential.

Why Apply?

• Hybrid working (4 in/1 from home)

• A supportive team and engaged stakeholder group

• A varied, hands-on HR role with scope to influence

• A great opportunity to step into a senior advisory position

If you're a proactive HR professional looking to make an impact in a collaborative, forward-thinking organisation, we'd love to hear from you.
