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 practical 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 include:

- 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 multisite 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

Benefits

- 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

- Birthday leave

- Free on-site parking, with electric car charging at certain locations

- Range of employee awards

- Regular social events

- 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 multisite logistics and office environment, we’d be keen to hear from you.
