• Private health and dental care
• Discretionary bonus scheme
• 25 days holiday plus bank holidays

• Leading disciplinary and grievance processes, ensuring formal meetings are documented accurately, while providing day to day HR guidance to Managers across the business
• Creating, maintaining and updating HR policies, the employee handbook, data protection documentation and employee records
• Managing end to end recruitment, from drafting job specs and liaising with agencies through to interviews and offer stage
• Overseeing new starter, leaver and probation processes, including contracts, inductions and review scheduling
• Administering absence, holiday and payroll documentation, including back-to-work interviews and training certification tracking
• Coordinating annual Workstation Risk Assessments alongside wider HR compliance activity

As HR Manager, your experience will include:

• Proven experience as an HR Manager or senior HR Advisor, ideally within a manufacturing environment
• Strong working knowledge of UK employment law and current HR best practice
• CIPD Level 3 (or above), or equivalent experience
• Confidence managing full-cycle recruitment and onboarding independently, without close oversight
• A track record of handling disciplinary, grievance and performance cases without hand-holding
• Experience using PeopleHR or a similar HR information system would be an advantage
