Job description

The role of the part time HR Advisor could be 3 full days or 5 half days (total weekly working hours 22-24).

This is a great opportunity to join as a stand alone HR professional in a busy, long-established medium-sized business.

The HR Advisor will work closely with the operations side of the business to ensure that all departments have HR coverage and support, maintaining compliance and contributing to efficient and smooth operations from a people perspective.

The HR Advisor will be responsible for managing payroll for the office staff and must have previous experience with full payroll processing. Responsibilities also include day-to-day HR transactional duties, overseeing GDPR compliance, supporting managers with employee relations (ER), recruitment, updating policies and procedures, and delivering training to managers regarding changes in employment law. As the role evolves, there may be opportunities to get involved in HR projects.

Key areas of the role include delivering excellent service in managing payroll, addressing any queries, establishing good HR best practices across the site, and being the go-to person for all HR matters. The HR Advisor should maintain a strong presence in all areas of the business, particularly in key operational areas, and have an interest in the business processes. Good business acumen and experience in blue/white-collar environments are essential.

The ideal candidate will have 2-4 years of experience in an operational environment with blue/white-collar workers, at least 2 years of full payroll responsibility, and the ability to deliver payroll for office-paid workers on full-time contracts. A good knowledge of employment law, experience in fast-paced environments, and a generalist operational HR background are required.
