HR Advisor Manufacturing Operations (Part-Time, 25 Hours per Week)
Supporting the people behind one of the world's most iconic luxury brands isn't just about HR processes. It's about building relationships, helping managers navigate challenges, creating great employee experiences, and ensuring our people can perform at their very best.
We're looking for an experienced HR Advisor to join our Manufacturing HR team, supporting operational leaders and employees across our manufacturing sites. This is a varied and hands-on role where no two days are the same. You'll be a trusted partner to managers, helping them navigate everything from employee relations matters and absence management through to workforce planning, engagement initiatives, and people development.
Key Responsibilities:
- Work closely with the Head of HR Business Partners for Manufacturing Operations and the wider HR team to ensure our people practices are delivered consistently, fairly, and in a way that supports both our employees and operational objectives.
- Coach managers, support employee wellbeing, analyze people trends, and identify opportunities to improve the employee experience across our manufacturing population.
- Support managers with employee relations and attendance matters, working closely with Occupational Health, advising on long-term absence cases, supporting welfare discussions, and helping managers build the confidence and capability to lead their teams effectively.
- Support investigations, grievances, disciplinaries, performance concerns, and a broad range of people-related queries, ensuring policies are applied consistently and pragmatically.
- Look beyond day-to-day case management, using data and insight to spot trends, challenge thinking, and recommend improvements. This could involve creating dashboards, preparing reports for senior leaders, supporting engagement activities, or contributing to wider HR projects.
