People Advisor

About the Role

As our People Advisor, you’ll play a key role in delivering a responsive, practical, and high-quality people service across Argyll. This is a hands-on role supporting managers and employees across the full employee lifecycle, with a particular focus on employee relations, people administration, compliance, and operational excellence.

You’ll be a trusted first point of contact for managers, helping them handle people matters confidently and consistently — from absence, performance, and conduct through to recruitment, onboarding, and employee changes. This role would suit a strong People Advisor with solid employee relations experience, ideally gained in a fast-paced, customer-facing environment such as hospitality, retail, leisure, or premium service.

What You'll Be Doing

• Provide practical advice and guidance to managers and employees on day-to-day people matters, ensuring consistency, fairness, and compliance with employment law and company policy
• Manage a broad range of employee relations cases — absence, conduct, performance, grievance, disciplinary, and investigations — from initial advice through to outcome
• Support the full employee lifecycle: recruitment coordination, onboarding, probation reviews, contractual changes, family leave, and offboarding
• Coordinate people administration, payroll inputs, benefits processes, and employee records, with accuracy and confidentiality
• Maintain and improve HR systems, templates, policies, and processes
• Produce people reports and insights on absence, turnover, and employee relations trends
• Coach managers on people processes and good people management practice
