- Be the first point of contact for all employees and managers (140 people total) as a visible, approachable and personable HR support to the team

- Proven generalist HR experience with strong knowledge of UK employment law and ACAS guidelines.
- Confident Employee Relations skills with the ability to hold challenging conversations and provide decisive advice.
- Background working in HR within manufacturing, warehousing or other industrial environment.
- Happy to be on site 5 days per week (you can work from home on Friday afternoons if you wish!)
