Regional HR Advisor
Elevation HR are recruiting for an experienced Regional HR Advisor to join an established operational business on a 12-month fixed-term contract.
This is a hands-on regional HR role supporting a geographically dispersed workforce across the Midlands and South, with a strong focus on complex employee relations. The role will suit an experienced HR Advisor who is confident working autonomously, supporting operational managers and managing a busy ER caseload.
The business is heavily unionised, so previous trade union experience is essential. Experience within manufacturing, engineering, logistics, warehousing, transport or another operational environment would be highly relevant.

- Managing a caseload of complex employee relations matters
- Advising managers on disciplinary, grievance, performance, absence and wellbeing cases
- Supporting complex and long-term absence, including Occupational Health and reasonable adjustments
- Coaching and challenging managers to ensure fair and consistent outcomes
- Working confidently with recognised trade unions and employee representatives
- Supporting investigations, formal meetings and hearings
- Providing pragmatic, commercially focused HR advice
- Building strong relationships across a dispersed operational workforce
- Escalating complex cases appropriately and working closely with senior HR colleagues
