Your new company
You’ll be joining a forward‑thinking organisation that prides itself on delivering exceptional service, supporting its people, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement. With a people‑centred approach and clear organisational values, this is an environment where you can genuinely make an impact while being part of a collaborative, supportive team.
Your new role
As a People Advisor, you will play a key role in delivering high‑quality, operational HR support across the organisation. Acting as a trusted partner to managers, you’ll provide guidance across the full spectrum of employee relations, people processes and best‑practice HR.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Providing advice on a wide range of ER matters: disciplinary, grievance, performance, absence, investigations and appeals.
- Managing casework end‑to‑end, ensuring accurate documentation and escalation where appropriate.
- Supporting long‑term sickness cases, including OH referrals and wellbeing interventions.
- Advising on organisational change activities such as consultation, redeployment, redundancy and settlement agreements.
- Supporting recruitment activity, including job evaluation, shortlisting, interviews and recruitment best practice.
- Collaborating closely with cross‑functional teams such as Payroll, L&D, Health & Safety and Communications.
This is a varied and hands‑on role where no two days are the same — ideal for someone who enjoys partnering with managers, influencing culture and driving continuous improvement.
What you'll need to succeed
- Experience providing operational HR support within a generalist role.
- Strong background in managing or advising on ER casework.
- Confident supporting recruitment and selection processes.
- Ability to coach and guide managers, building capability and confidence.
- Solid understanding of employment law, HR policies and best practice.
- Experience using HR systems and maintaining accurate data.
- CIPD Level 5 (or equivalent experience).
- Excellent communication, relationship‑building and organisational skills.
- A proactive, solutions‑focused approach with high attention to detail.
- Ability to travel as required (driving licence and access to a vehicle).
Desirable experience includes working in a regulated or customer‑focused environment, supporting organisational change, and contributing to policy development or HR‑related training.
What you'll get in return
This role is a fixed term contract until September 2026, the salary is £33,000 and you will be required to work out of their offices in Staffordshire and Shropshire.
