Job Description
HR Advisor
Location: Fareham / Flexible Hybrid
Function: People
Contract: Permanent
Build a better future, one job at a time.
At Gattaca, our purpose is simple: to provide the skills needed to build a better future, one job at a time.
Every person in our business has a part to play in that… including you.
We’re looking for a digitally minded, relationship‑driven HR Advisor who’s confident, organised, commercially sharp, and brilliant at communicating with clarity and intent. Someone who can build trust quickly, challenge constructively, and collaborate effortlessly across a fast‑moving, performance‑driven environment.
What you’ll be doing
You’ll be a trusted partner to leaders and teams across the business, providing practical and proactive advice across the full employee lifecycle. You’ll lead on employee relations, coach managers, drive wellbeing initiatives, support EDI improvements, and bring a continuous‑improvement mindset to everything you do.
You’ll be embedded into dedicated business areas, seen as an extension of the leadership team, not an add‑on. Alongside the wider People team, you’ll play a key role in shaping an inclusive, high‑performance culture where people feel engaged, supported and set up to succeed.
Key responsibilities
* First point of contact for HR advice, coaching and ER guidance
* Managing ER cases across conduct, performance, sickness and wellbeing
* Supporting wellbeing initiatives aligned to our People and ESG strategies
* Delivering manager education on people fundamentals
* Producing HR insights and reports using our HRIS, to back up advice
* Supporting engagement activity using our engagement platform
* Driving inclusion by challenging bias and championing our DNA behaviours
* Partnering with leaders to anticipate people needs and provide proactive solution
Whilst based in our Whiteley office, you have the opportunity to work in our London office, one-day a month, as well as the flexibility to work from home up to 2 days a week (whichever suits your needs) once you’re past the onboarding period.
What you’ll bring
* CIPD Level 5 or equivalent experience
* At least 2 years in a HR Advisor or generalist role
* Strong commercial understanding (ideally gained in a corporate or sales-led environment)
* Confidence to challenge respectfully and coach effectively
* Excellent organisation, attention to detail and written accuracy
* Digitally confident, data‑minded, curious and adaptable
* A genuine commitment to inclusion, wellbeing and continuous improvement
