HR Advisor

Knottingley with some travel to sites in Wakefield & Doncaster

Fixed-Term Contract

£30,000 - £35,000 DOE

This is a generalist HR Advisor role covering the full employee relations spectrum - absence, disciplinaries, grievances, performance - within a busy manufacturing and engineering environment. The business needs someone who can hit the ground running, not someone who needs six months to find their feet.

If you know your way around UK employment law and can hold a difficult conversation with a line manager without needing a script, this is worth a look.

What You'll Be Doing

Advising managers and employees on a broad range of HR matters, day to day
Managing ER cases end to end - absence management, disciplinary and grievance proceedings, performance management
Supporting recruitment and onboarding activity as required
Interpreting and applying HR policy in line with current employment legislation
Maintaining accurate HR records and producing management information when needed
Contributing to HR projects and supporting any organisational change activity as it arises

The Environment

A well-established business in South Yorkshire with a hands-on culture. HR here is operational, not ornamental - you'll be working directly with managers on the floor and expected to provide practical, clear guidance rather than theoretical advice. The team is small and the workload is varied.

What You'll Need

Essential:

Solid background in a generalist HR Advisor role
Strong working knowledge of UK employment law and current HR best practice
Demonstrable experience handling ER cases independently
Ability to manage a varied caseload and prioritise without being micromanaged
Clear, confident communication skills - written and verbal

Desirable:

CIPD Level 5 or above
Experience working within a manufacturing, engineering, or industrial setting

What's On Offer

Salary of £30,000 to £35,000 depending on experience

Full-time hours

Fixed-term contract - length to be confirmed at interview stage

Immediate or near-immediate start available

About the Business

A South Yorkshire-based employer operating across engineering and manufacturing. The business has a stable workforce and a practical, no-nonsense approach to how it operates. HR sits close to the business here - you'll be advising on real situations, not drafting policy documents that nobody reads.
