At B&S Group, we started in a single family-run store and have grown into one of the UK’s leading wholesale distributors, supplying retailers across the country. While our scale has expanded, our culture hasn’t changed — we still operate with the same values of care, trust, and ambition that shaped us from the beginning.
We’re looking for a versatile HR Advisor who loves variety and thrives in a busy, people-first environment. This is a true generalist role where no two days are alike. You’ll support the full employee lifecycle while also being a trusted advisor to managers on performance, compliance, and people challenges.
What you’ll be doing:
* Advising on performance management, capability, and wellbeing issues.
* Ensuring new joiners have a smooth, engaging onboarding experience.
* Supporting on employee relations issues, including absence management and welfare meetings.
* Coaching and upskilling managers so they can confidently lead their teams.
* Playing a key role in rolling out strategic HR initiatives from the Head of HR and senior team.
* Using HR data and reporting to spot trends and drive improvements.
What we’re looking for:
* CIPD Level 5 (or equivalent) with solid experience in an HR Advisor role.
* A confident communicator with the ability to influence managers and build trust at all levels.
* Strong knowledge of UK employment law and HR best practice.
* Tech-savvy with Excel skills (v-lookups, pivot tables) and a good head for data.
* Someone who thrives in a fast-paced SME-style environment, rolling up their sleeves when needed.
Why join us?
At B&S, you’ll find the best of both worlds: the stability and scale of a growing national business with the friendly, collaborative culture of a family company. We’re ambitious, supportive, and always moving forward — and we want our HR team to be right at the heart of that journey
