HR Advisor, A Role Where You Can Shape What Comes Next
Every operation has a heartbeat.
In this one, it’s the people.
Behind every ship, every truck movement, every container handled and every infrastructure project supported, there’s a workforce that keeps an entire supply chain moving. And right now, that workforce is entering a new phase of growth, with a refreshed HR team at the centre of it.
We’re supporting a major UK logistics and supply chain operation to appoint a proactive, relationship-driven HR Advisor who wants more than just an advisory role, someone who wants to help build a stronger, smarter, more people-focused future.
This isn’t a back-office HR job. It’s right in the thick of a fast-paced, operational environment where the real work happens. You’ll be visible, trusted and hands-on, working across several business units and supporting around 700 people who keep the operation running safely and efficiently every single day.
And because the HR team is being reshaped and strengthened, there’s genuine opportunity to put your stamp on things, to help modernise processes, influence leaders, and be part of something that’s moving forward fast.
Your Role in the Story
You’ll become a key partner to managers on site, helping them lead their teams well and navigate the everyday realities of a busy, unionised workforce. You’ll support people through change, bring clarity to complex issues, and help raise the bar for what good HR support looks like.
Your week might involve:
*
Guiding managers through ER cases with calm confidence
*
Supporting collective bargaining activity and building strong relationships with union reps
*
Coaching leaders to build their capability and confidence
*
Working closely with HR colleagues to modernise policies and redesign processes
*
Using HR data to spot themes, shape decisions and strengthen the people agenda
*
Getting involved in projects to support the site’s growth plans and improve the colleague experience
No two days will look the same, and that’s exactly what makes it special.
What You Bring
You’ll already have solid experience in an HR Advisor/Officer role, ideally in an operational, logistics or industrial setting. You’ll be comfortable managing complex ER and capable of working constructively within a unionised environment.
More importantly, you’ll bring:
*
A confident, solutions-focused mindset
*
The ability to build trust quickly at every level
*
Curiosity to understand how the operation works
*
Drive to make improvements, not just manage processes
*
A collaborative style that fits naturally into a hands-on HR team
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
Because you won’t just be joining a business, you’ll be joining it at the perfect moment.
The operation is growing. Investment is high. The HR team is evolving. Leaders are open to new ideas. And there’s real appetite for HR to be more proactive, more strategic, and more deeply connected to the day-to-day running of the site.
You’ll have the space to influence.
The support to grow.
And a team that wants to move forward together.
If you’re an experienced HR Advisor who wants to feel the impact of your work every day, this role is a brilliant next step.
