Are you an experienced HR Generalist looking for a role where you can make a real impact, work at pace, and gain exposure across the full HR spectrum?

We're partnering with a fast-growing international manufacturing business who are going through an exciting period of transformation and investment. This is a great opportunity to join a collaborative, hands-on HR team where no two days are the same.


The Role

As HR Generalist, you'll be a key member of the site HR team, supporting both day-to-day operations and wider people initiatives. You'll also mentor a junior HR team member and play an important role in developing systems, processes, and engagement across the site.

This is a genuinely varied role with plenty of scope to get involved - from employee relations and training to HR projects and change activity.


Key Responsibilities
  • Provide advice and guidance to managers and employees on all aspects of HR and employee relations.

  • Lead on case management including investigations, disciplinaries, and grievances.

  • Support, coach, and mentor a junior HR team member.

  • Maintain and improve HR systems, data accuracy, and reporting.

  • Deliver training and onboarding initiatives to support workforce capability.

  • Partner with line managers on recruitment, performance, and engagement.

  • Contribute to HR projects and site-wide improvements as the business continues to grow.


About You
  • Proven experience in a broad HR generalist role.

  • Confident handling ER casework and providing sound employment law advice.

  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, operational environment - manufacturing experience would be an advantage.

  • Strong HR systems knowledge and data-driven mindset.

  • Collaborative, pragmatic, and confident building relationships at all levels.

  • Experience managing or mentoring junior HR staff.


What's on Offer
  • Salary of £40,000 - £45,000 (depending on experience).

  • 12-month FTC with potential for further opportunity.

  • Exposure to a wide range of HR projects and initiatives.

  • Supportive, down-to-earth team culture in a growing, global organisation.


If you're a proactive HR professional who enjoys variety, pace, and the opportunity to shape how things are done, we'd love to hear from you.
