Be the Voice of HR. The Coach. The Calm in the Storm.
Are you an experienced HR professional who thrives in the thick of employee relations? Do you love coaching line managers, building capability, and being the go-to for trusted, practical HR advice?
At XMA, we’re looking for a confident, credible Senior HR Advisor to step into a pivotal role within our HR team, someone who brings energy, resilience and sharp employment law expertise to every conversation.
This is not a sit-back-and-process role. This is hands-on, front-line HR.

What You’ll Be Doing
You’ll be the trusted HR partner to managers across the business, leading on employee relations, driving consistency, and ensuring our structured HR framework is followed with confidence and clarity.
* Managing a broad range of ER cases — disciplinaries, grievances, performance, absence — with fairness, pace and legal compliance
* Coaching and mentoring line managers to build confidence, capability and consistency in people management
* Acting as the go-to expert on HR policy and UK employment legislation
* Delivering proactive, practical HR advice that balances risk with commercial reality
* Ensuring consistent application of established HR processes aligned to ISO 9001, ISO 27001 and BSI standards
XMA has built a strong, structured HR framework over recent years. Your role? Champion it. Embed it. Make sure managers understand it and follow it.

The Energy We’re Looking For
You’ll be:
* Emotionally intelligent and resilient under pressure
* Confident handling sensitive and complex ER cases
* Comfortable challenging constructively
* Solutions-focused, pragmatic and commercially aware
* Highly organised with exceptional attention to detail
* Passionate about raising standards and driving consistency
This role suits someone who enjoys pace, variety and influence and who wants to be recognised as a credible HR expert within the business.
