Summary
We’re looking for a HR Generalist to join our team on a part‑time basis (18 hours per week across 4 days, with flexibility on how those hours are worked). This is a 12‑month maternity cover position, giving you the opportunity to step into a standalone HR role where you’ll truly make an impact.
The role is due to start at the beginning of December.
Responsibilities
* Managing the full HR lifecycle — from recruitment and onboarding through to engagement and retention.
* Advising managers on HR issues including conduct, capability, grievance, and absence management.
* Supporting staff wellbeing through HR systems, communication, and resources.
* Ensuring HR policies and procedures are compliant with UK employment law and reflect best practice.
* Maintaining accurate HR databases and employee records (with GDPR in mind at all times).
* Coordinating training records, probation reviews, and appraisals — making sure nothing slips through the cracks.
* Escalating complex HR matters and ensuring a fair, consistent approach across the business.
* Running payroll accurately and on time in the Payroll Manager’s absence.
What We’re Looking For
* CIPD Level 5 qualified with strong all‑round HR knowledge – ideally within an SME or standalone position.
* Excellent knowledge of UK employment law and HR best practice.
* A confident communicator who can balance empathy with professionalism.
* Someone highly organised, with a keen eye for detail and a proactive approach.
Why This Role Is Exciting
* You’ll be the go‑to person for all things people‑related — a trusted advisor in a business where HR really matters.
* A flexible part‑time role that allows you to balance work and life.
* A standalone HR position where you’ll have ownership and autonomy day to day.
* Be part of a friendly, growing business that values its people as much as its customers.
