Supporting managers with day‑to‑day employee relations matters, including disciplinaries, investigations, absence, and performance issues
Managing PPE requirements, including issuing equipment, maintaining records, and ensuring compliance with health and safety standards
Maintaining accurate HR records and employee files, ensuring data integrity and confidentiality
Reviewing, updating, and writing HR policies and procedures to ensure they remain current, practical, and aligned with business needs
Supporting wider people initiatives and continuous improvement of HR processes as the business evolves

Requirements:

Previous experience in a generalist HR role, ideally within a fast‑paced, operational environment such as retail, logistics, manufacturing, hospitality, or similar
A solid understanding of core HR processes, including recruitment, onboarding, ER case support, and training administration
Confidence working independently, with strong organisational skills and attention to detail
Practical knowledge of employment law and the ability to apply it sensibly in day‑to‑day situations
