This is not just another corporate HR job—it's an opportunity to make a meaningful impact in a business that prides itself on precision, innovation, and operational excellence. Reporting to the HR Director, the successful candidate will support the leadership team, drive real change, and contribute directly to the company's strategic vision and operational success. What the Role Involves: Partnering with senior managers, influencing and coaching them to achieve best-in-class people management. Leading workforce planning initiatives, managing change, and contributing to strategic Learning & Development plans. Providing practical, timely HR solutions for recruitment, employee relations, performance, and engagement. Championing culture and organisational development, contributing actively to strategic planning and future growth. Ensuring people practices support both strategic ambitions and day-to-day operational needs. Who They’re Looking For: A practical, approachable individual comfortable working in a manufacturing environment. Experience as an HR Business Partner in a manufacturing or similarly operationally focused industry is ideal — however, those currently in a Senior HR Advisor role and ready for the next step up are also encouraged to apply.

Ability to confidently advise leaders at all levels, balancing strategic insights with hands-on operational support. Proactive and flexible, with a calm and pragmatic approach to challenges.

Competitive salary and excellent benefits including a 12% company pension contribution and 25 days holiday plus bank holidays. Flexible working arrangements around core hours and an early finish at 3pm on Fridays. Special Note: This opportunity is particularly well-suited to those returning to work after a career break, managing family commitments, or perhaps later in their career and looking to re-engage in a purposeful role. While the role is full-time, flexibility can be looked at in how the working week is structured, including core-hour flexibility. Confidentiality assured – all applications are handled discreetly.
