Senior HR Advisor
Rochester, Kent | Hybrid Working £40,000-£45,000 + Bonus + Excellent Benefits
Are you a commercially minded HR professional looking for a role where you can genuinely influence a growing business?
I'm partnering with an ambitious and expanding construction group to recruit a Senior HR Advisor to join their centralised HR function. Supporting four businesses within the group, this is a fantastic opportunity to join an organisation at a pivotal stage in its journey.
With significant growth plans, including acquisitions and business integration projects, the HR team is playing a key role in shaping the future of the organisation. This role offers a blend of operational HR and project work, making it ideal for someone who enjoys variety, taking ownership, and working closely with stakeholders across a business.
Reporting to the HR Manager, you'll be part of a highly visible and respected HR team that has built strong relationships throughout the organisation and is trusted to support strategic business objectives.
The Opportunity
This is far more than a traditional HR advisory role. Alongside providing day-to-day HR support, you'll have the opportunity to get involved in a range of exciting projects linked to business growth, acquisitions, integration activity, payroll harmonisation, contract reviews and employee benefits alignment.
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.
