HR Advisor

Swadlincote / Ashby-de-la-Zouch

£30,000 – £36,000 + Benefits

Hybrid Working (1–2 days from home)

The Opportunity

Eaton Syalon are exclusively supporting a well-established, fast-growing SME that has doubled in headcount over the last five years to hire a HR Advisor/HR Generalist.

Reporting into the HR Manager, you’ll join a small, collaborative HR team where you’ll be involved across the full employee lifecycle, from advisory and casework through to projects, policy review, process improvement and supporting operational teams on a day-to-day basis.

If you enjoy variety, being close to the business, and working with a wide-ranging employee population this is the kind of role where you’ll thrive.

This role will suit:

• An established HR Advisor who enjoys a broad, generalist remit in a smaller business
• Or someone stepping into their first HR Advisor role having gained strong experience in a HR Support role

The Role

You’ll play a key role in supporting managers across multiple sites, providing practical, commercially minded HR support.

Key areas will include:

• Providing HR advice on employee relations matters (absence, performance, conduct, grievance)
• Supporting cases from start to resolution
• Building strong relationships with managers
• Supporting recruitment, onboarding and wider employee lifecycle processes
• Assisting with HR systems, data accuracy and payroll liaison
• HR projects including onboarding of acquired sites
• Policy development and review
• Process improvements

What We’re Looking For

• Experience in a generalist HR role with exposure to employee relations within a smaller business/team setting
• Someone confident working in a fast-paced, operational environment
• Strong interpersonal skills — able to build credibility across all levels
• A hands-on, pragmatic approach with a willingness to get stuck in
• High attention to detail, particularly around HR systems and data
• Comfortable managing multiple priorities across different sites

You will be CIPD Level 3 (or working towards) or possess relevant work experience over recent years.
