The Opportunity

A well-established, independently owned business with a strong family culture is looking to appoint an HR Advisor with a focus on Employee Relations.

This is a hands-on role requiring strong, proven ER experience, where you will manage a range of cases and investigations, while working closely with the HR Manager as part of a collaborative team.

This role will suit someone who is confident operating at advisory level in ER, but who values support, stability and a team-based environment over a fully autonomous or strategic position.

The Role

  • Managing a varied range of employee relations cases including complex cases, disciplinaries, grievances, absence, performance and capability
  • Leading and supporting investigations end-to-end, including evidence gathering, interviews and outcome recommendations
  • Producing clear, detailed and well-structured case documentation and reports
  • Advising and coaching managers on sensitive ER matters, ensuring fair and consistent outcomes
  • Working closely with the HR Manager on case direction and decision-making
  • Supporting a multi-site workforce across the UK
  • Updating policies, processes and HR documentation in line with best practice
  • Supporting manager development through 1:1 coaching and guidance

About You

  • Strong, proven experience conducting a range of ER cases
  • Confident leading investigations and producing clear, evidence-based outcomes
  • Solid knowledge of UK employment law and ACAS guidelines
  • Some tribunal knowledge would be advantageous, but not essential
  • Comfortable advising and influencing managers, with sound judgement
  • Able to work both independently and as part of a close-knit HR team
  • High attention to detail with strong report-writing capability
  • CIPD Level 5 or equivalent

Why Join

  • Independently owned business with a genuine family culture
  • Senior-level ER exposure without the pressure of a standalone role
  • Supportive HR leadership and collaborative team environment
  • Flexible, remote-first working
  • Stable, long-term opportunity
