HR Advisor- £35,000
Cardiff City Centre - Hybrid
Permanent, Full-time (9am -5:30pm)
Yolk Recruitment is working exclusively with a leading insurance company that's been on an exciting growth journey. The business is people-focused and values open communication, collaboration, and flexibility in the way they work.
We're looking for an experienced HR Advisor to join a friendly, down-to-earth HR team. You'll be based in Cardiff but will work closely with colleagues across other locations, so occasional travel (around once a month) may be required.
This is a standalone, hands-on role supporting managers and employees with a wide range of HR matters. You'll need strong employee relations experience and the confidence to handle a busy, fast-paced environment where no two days are the same.
What the role involves:
* Act as the first point of contact for day-to-day HR matters, providing guidance and support to managers and employees.
* Support employee relations, absence management, performance issues, and other sensitive cases.
* Work closely with managers to guide them through HR processes, ensuring consistency, fairness, and legal compliance.
* Build strong relationships across the Cardiff site, acting as a trusted point of contact for employees.
* Collaborate with the wider HR team to deliver a consistent HR approach.
* Support recruitment activity, including pre-screening, interview coordination, and salary benchmarking.
* Contribute to HR projects and initiatives linked to growth, engagement, and organisational change.
* Maintain accurate employee records and ensure compliance with legislation and company policies.
* Deliver training and coaching to managers on HR processes where required.
* Assist with onboarding, employee engagement initiatives, and payroll processes as needed.
What experience you'll need
* 3-5 years' experience in a fast-paced HR Advisor role
* Solid employee relations experience, confident managing complex, and sensitive cases.
* Comfortable working in a standalone capacity while collaborating with remote HR colleagues.
* Personable, approachable, and resilient - able to build trust and credibility quickly.
* Confident communicator who can challenge and influence where needed.
* CIPD Level 5 (or equivalent experience) would be an advantage.
Why this is a great opportunity:
* Salary up to £35,000
* Standalone, varied, and people-centred role in a growing business.
* Hybrid working: 3 days in the office, 2 days from home (after initial period).
* 32 days' annual leave (including bank holidays).
* Company-paid health cash plan.
* Pension scheme - 3% employer contribution.
* Holiday buy scheme - up to 3 extra days per year.
* Tech scheme - save on the latest tech over 12 months.
* Cycle to Work scheme - save on a new bike over 12 months.
* Life assurance (4x salary).
