Are you ready to take on a rewarding HR role where no two days are the same?
We’re looking for a proactive and people-focused Regional HR Advisor to join our People Experience team on a 6 month fixed term contract basis.

You’ll play a key role in supporting our sites across the South East and outskirts of London, providing professional HR advice, coaching managers, and partnering closely with leaders to deliver practical, people-driven solutions that make a real impact.

This is a regional role that combines operational delivery with strategic influence. You’ll spend around two to three days per week visiting sites, with the remainder of your time spent working remotely. A company vehicle will be provided for travel between sites.

What you’ll be doing

Provide expert, trusted HR advice across a wide range of employee relation cases including disciplinary, grievance, absence management and capability – ensuring fair, consistent and legally sound outcomes.
Owning ER Case work end to end offering proactive support and coaching to managers and helping to build confidence and capability in handling sensitive people matters.
Championing the full employee lifecycle, from onboarding and development to exit, with a focus on creating a positive and inclusive colleague experience.

Partnering with operational teams to build strong, trust-based relationships and foster a culture of accountability, fairness, and open communication
Using ER data and insights to identify trends, inform decisions, and drive continuous improvement in policies, processes, and manager training.
Ensuring compliance with employment law and internal policies, applying a pragmatic and balanced approach that protects both the business and its people
Managing HR administration with precision and care—strong organisation and record-keeping are essential, especially in a fast-paced environment without a case management system.
Contributing to wider HR initiatives, bringing fresh ideas, a strategic mindset, and a passion for improving the colleague experience

What you’ll need to succeed

Proven experience in an HR Advisor role with broad exposure across the full employee lifecycle
Strong knowledge of Employment Law and practical experience handling ER cases end-to-end
Excellent communication, relationship-building, and influencing skills across all levels
Confident using HR systems, we use Workday (HRIS), Outlook, Excel, and SharePoint
A data-driven and commercially minded approach to problem solving
The ability to balance operational delivery with strategic thinking
A full UK driving licence (essential) and willingness to travel regularly across the region
Experience in the logistics or distribution sector would be advantageous but not essential
