Your new company
Hays are working with an organisation in Telford who are looking to appoint a HR Advisor on a permanent basis. You will be joining a forward-looking organisation committed to developing a proactive, people‑focused culture. The business values strong leadership, open communication, and best‑practice HR support, with an emphasis on employee engagement, compliance, and continuous improvement. The HR function works closely with managers across all departments to provide pragmatic and commercially focused people solutions.
Your new role
As a HR Advisor, you will support the HR Business Partner on all day-to-day operational and advisory HR matters, working across the full employee lifecycle. You will provide guidance to managers and employees on a wide range of HR topics, including employee relations, absence management, recruitment, onboarding, and performance management. You will play a key role in ensuring policies and procedures are applied consistently, employment legislation is adhered to, and HR systems and records are maintained accurately.

You will be confident supporting managers through both informal and formal HR processes and comfortable handling sensitive information professionally.
You’ll bring hands‑on recruitment experience, from role briefing and advertising through to interviewing, offer management, and onboarding. A solid working knowledge of UK employment law and HR best practice is essential, along with strong organisational skills and attention to detail.
CIPD Level 5 qualification (or working towards) is required. Experience using HR systems is desirable. You will be proactive, solution‑focused, and confident communicating with stakeholders at all levels.
