Your new company

This is a successful, international manufacturing business which specialises in product testing for a portfolio of valued clients. Their team is made up of many experienced and highly skilled professionals committed to providing an exceptional service at all times.

Your new role

As an HR Advisor reporting to an experienced Head of HR, your job is to ensure all HR work is carried out across a few UK sites in a timely manner, providing a great service to all employees. This is a varied HR generalist role with responsibility for supporting recruitment and onboarding, leading and supporting ER case work, and advising colleagues on legislation and HR best practice - coaching them as required. You will also lead payroll across 5 sites (3 in the UK and 2 internationally) working with an external payroll provider and with support from an internal HR Administrator. Rare travel is required to 2 other UK sites, but no more than once a quarter (3-4 times / year).

Working hours are 37.5 / week, 8am-4pm (Monday-Friday) including a 30-minute lunch. This opportunity also offers hybrid work of 3 days based in their Gosport office vs 2 days WFH each week.

What you'll need to succeed

CIPD Level 5 is preferred, but you must have CIPD Level 3 (minimum) to be considered.

The successful applicant will be a personable, proactive individual who is highly capable and can work autonomously as required, but with support from an HR Administrator and guidance from a knowledgeable Head of HR based off-site, but who is available for ongoing support and visits Gosport a few days each month.

What you'll get in return

This is an exciting chance to join a successful SME business as they grow in a role that will offer you great variety in HR and Payroll as a site lead. You will work with UK teams in HR and have responsibility for Payroll both in the UK and internationally (supported by the external Payroll provider / internal HR Administrator as above).

You will receive a salary between £33,000-£35,000 (DOE), hybrid working as above, free on-site parking, 25 days' holiday +BH's, Life Assurance (4 x basic annual salary), healthcare cash back scheme, pension and EAP.
