We're exclusively partnering with a fast-paced, operational business in Crewe to recruit an experienced HR Advisor for a 12-month fixed-term contract. This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys being close to the action, building strong relationships with managers, and rolling their sleeves up to support a busy workforce. Based on-site, you'll thrive in an environment where no two days are the same and where a proactive, solutions-focused approach is valued.

Key Responsibilities
- Provide day-to-day HR advice and support to managers and employees.
- Manage a range of employee relations matters including disciplinaries, grievances, absence, performance and conduct issues.
- Lead investigations, hearings and formal meetings, ensuring a fair and consistent approach.
- Support recruitment, onboarding and employee lifecycle activities.
- Oversee occupational health referrals and support return-to-work and reasonable adjustment processes.
- Take ownership of time and attendance administration, ensuring accurate records and payroll data.
- Produce HR reports, maintain employee records and prepare HR documentation.
- Support the delivery of HR initiatives, policy implementation and continuous improvement projects.
