The role
We are looking for a confident and experienced Regional HR Advisor to support a geographically dispersed workforce across logistics sites and office locations in Sussex and Surrey with occasional wider travel. This is a hands‑on role with regular travel, ideal for someone who enjoys being visible on site and working closely with operational leaders.
As a Regional HR Advisor, you will provide end‑to‑end generalist HR support, with a strong focus on employee relations. Reporting into an HR Manager, but working independently across multiple locations, you will act as a trusted partner to managers in both warehouse and office environments.
Key responsibilities
* Managing a varied ER caseload, including disciplinaries, grievances, absence management, performance and capability
* Supporting managers through investigations, hearings and outcome meetings
* Providing clear, pragmatic advice aligned to UK employment law and company policy
* Coaching line managers to improve people management capability in a fast paced logistics setting, ensuring fair and consistent HR practices across all locations
* Supporting both operational and office based colleagues
* Building strong relationships across a multi site regional structure
* Regular travel to logistics depots and office locations within your region – most within a short distance of each other, with some occasional longer travel
* Opportunity to contribute to development work and projects that support business growth
You can offer
* 2–3 years’ proven experience managing ER casework in a generalist HR role, with the ability to work autonomously, prioritise effectively and manage competing demands
* Experience in multi-site operations (desirable)
* Strong working knowledge of UK employment law
* Confidence engaging with managers at all levels, from frontline supervisors to senior leaders
* A practical, resilient and commercially minded approach
* CIPD Level5 (or above), or working towards, is desirable but not essential
We offer
* A varied, visible HR role within a fast moving logistics organisation
* Autonomy and ownership of your regional remit, with guidance from our HR Manager
* Supportive and collaborative HR team
* Opportunities for professional development and progression
* Discretionary company bonus scheme
* Opportunity for hybrid working – 3 days per week on site
* Pension, Life Assurance, Healthshield Cash Plan and Discount Perks
* 22 days holiday (plus Bank Holidays) increasing to 25 days after 2 complete holiday years, with the option to buy/sell holiday
* Free on-site parking, with electric car charging at certain locations
* Range of employee awards
* Employee assistance programme to promote mental health wellbeing
* Cycle to work scheme
* Enhanced maternity and paternity leave
If you can offer 2 – 3 years’ solid HR and ER experience and enjoy operational HR working across a multi site logistics and office environment, we’d be keen to hear from you.
