HR Advisor

Looking for a genuinely broad HR role? If you enjoy variety and want to be involved in every aspect of HR rather than being confined to one specialism, this could be an excellent opportunity.

We are looking for an experienced HR Advisor to join a busy and growing organisation in London on a temporary basis.

This is a true HR generalist role. You will work across the full employee lifecycle, supporting managers and employees with everything from recruitment and onboarding through to employee relations, performance, absence, policies, compliance and day-to-day HR advice.

No two days are likely to be the same. What will you be involved in? You will provide practical, hands-on HR support across the organisation, including:

Advising managers and employees on a wide range of day-to-day HR matters

Managing employee relations cases including disciplinary, grievance, absence, capability and performance

Supporting managers through formal and informal HR processes

Recruitment, selection and onboarding

Preparing contracts, letters and other HR documentation

Supporting probation and performance management processes

Managing absence and supporting attendance management

Reviewing and implementing HR policies and procedures

Providing guidance on UK employment law and HR best practice

Maintaining accurate employee records and HR documentation

Supporting HR reporting, audits and compliance

Coaching managers and helping develop their people-management capability

Liaising with external employment law advisers where appropriate

Supporting wider HR projects and initiatives as required

Who are we looking for? We are looking for someone who enjoys being a generalist HR practitioner and is happy to get involved wherever their expertise is needed.

You will ideally have

At least two years of HR experience at HR Advisor, HR Officer or similar level

Broad generalist HR experience across the employee lifecycle

Good employee relations and case management experience

Sound knowledge of UK employment law

Experience supporting and advising managers

Strong organisational skills and attention to detail

The confidence to manage several different HR priorities at once

A practical, approachable and solutions-focused style

CIPD Level 5, or working towards it, would be advantageous.

Experience within health and social care, care services or another regulated environment would be useful but is not essential. Why consider this opportunity? If you are looking to broaden your HR experience, this role gives you the opportunity to be involved in the full spectrum of HR rather than focusing on just one area.

You will have the chance to build relationships across the organisation, take ownership of your work and make a visible contribution from the outset.

This is a fully office-based position in London, so you must be comfortable working on site.

If you are an experienced HR generalist who can hit the ground running and you are available immediately or at short notice, we would be very interested in hearing from you.
