Location: Oxfordshire
Salary: £40k
Hawkwood are excited to be partnering with a high-growth logistics technology company that’s using robotics and automation to change the way businesses manage their warehouse operations.
Our client are looking to bring in a People Advisor to support their growing team, taking ownership of day-to-day People Operations while getting exposure to a broader People remit.
You’ll be responsible for the core employee lifecycle, taking ownership of onboarding, offboarding, contracts, and inductions. On top of this, you'll support the HR Lead with wider People initiatives. There’ll also be heaps of opportunity to gain Employee Relations experience as you develop in the role.
Here’s a taste of what you can expect to be doing:
- Take ownership of day-to-day People Operations, ensuring employees receive a seamless and engaging experience throughout their time with the business.
- Manage key employee lifecycle processes including onboarding, offboarding, contracts, employee documentation, and inductions.
- Support the HR Lead across Employee Relations matters, gaining exposure to performance improvement plans, disciplinaries, grievances, absence management, and exit interviews.
- Help maintain and develop People systems and processes, supporting the implementation of new tooling and identifying opportunities to make ways of working more efficient.
- Get stuck into a variety of People initiatives and projects, working closely with the HR Lead to support the continued development of the People function as the company grows.

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.
