Hello and welcome to Sungrow in the UK.

Curious what this role looks like in practice?
Here’s what you would be doing:
- Act as a trusted HR contact for employees and managers, offering practical guidance on people topics and helping foster open, transparent communication.
- Manage employee relations matters across the UK and Ireland, including disciplinary, grievance, capability, conflict resolution, and workplace investigations.
- Partner with managers to support performance, team dynamics, and employee engagement, while providing coaching and sound HR advice.
- Support key moments across the employee lifecycle, including onboarding, development discussions, probation follow-up, and offboarding.
- Provide backup support for UK and Ireland payroll processes and help ensure accurate, compliant HR administration.
- Work closely with Talent Acquisition, the broader HR team, headquarters, and the Office Manager to deliver smooth hiring transitions and people-focused culture and wellbeing initiatives.
Your profile
Role
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
All right, all right - this one is an important people role, and to thrive in it, your background should look a little like this:
- You have the legal right to work in the UK and can commute to the Milton Keynes office at least 3 days per week.
- You bring solid experience in a UK-based HR generalist role, including hands-on employee relations case management and workplace investigations.
- You have strong knowledge of UK employment law and HR best practice, and familiarity with Ireland employment law would be a strong advantage.
- You have experience supporting payroll processes in the UK, and any exposure to Ireland payroll would be a plus.
- You are confident advising and coaching line managers on performance, conduct, and team-related matters.
- You have supported the full employee lifecycle, from onboarding and probation to development, performance reviews, and offboarding.
- You hold a degree in Human Resources, Business, Law, Psychology, or a related field, and you have CIPD Level 5 or above, are working toward it, or bring equivalent HR experience.
- Your English is fluent at C1 level in speaking and writing, and additional European languages would be a plus.
