HR Officer (UK & Europe)
Full-time, permanent | Blackburn, Lancashire (hybrid, with occasional travel to our Newcastle-under-Lyme office) | £30,000 - £35,000 depending on experience

About Radwell
Radwell is the world's leading provider of spare parts and repair services for industrial electronics, robotics and automation. For over 40 years we've helped manufacturers keep their production lines running. We hold more than 35 million parts in stock globally, our HQ is in New Jersey, USA, and our European business spans the UK, Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Spain and Poland.

The role
We're building our European HR function, and this role sits at its core. You'll own the HR systems and administration that keep six countries running: contracts, employee records, payroll changes, recruitment and onboarding. Getting these right is what everything else in HR depends on.

Based at our Blackburn site, you'll report to the European HR Manager and work closely with our HR Advisor in Newcastle-under-Lyme. You'll share the HR inbox with the Advisor: you handle day-to-day and system queries, they handle employee relations and policy advice.

We'll be upfront: much of this role is systems and admin. If you like being the person who makes processes work properly and want a real route into advisory HR, this is for you.

What you'll do

Triage the shared HR inbox and resolve day-to-day queries from employees and managers across the UK and Europe
Produce employment documentation for all our European entities: offer letters, contracts, contractual changes, probations, salary reviews and leavers
Administer family leave, flexible working, probation and appraisal processes, keeping track of deadlines
Keep our HR system (ADP) accurate for every European site, and help us improve how we use it
Prepare and submit monthly payroll changes across six countries
Coordinate recruitment end to end, including pre-employment checks, onboarding and inductions
Produce HR reports on headcount, absence, turnover and recruitment
Support employee relations cases by arranging hearings, preparing packs and taking notes
Help run engagement activity and our charity and community work, and improve our processes as you go

What we're looking for

At least a year's experience in an HR Officer, Administrator or Coordinator role
CIPD Level 3 or equivalent experience
Experience producing employment documentation such as offer letters and contracts
A working knowledge of core UK HR processes, such as right to work, family leave and probation
High accuracy, because contracts and payroll need to be right first time
Confident with HR systems, Excel and Word
Organised and able to handle a high volume of varied work without dropping things
Discretion with confidential information

Nice to have

Experience with ADP or another HR system and applicant tracking system
Payroll input experience
HR admin across more than one country
A second European language (Dutch, German, Italian, Spanish or Polish)
Some exposure to employee relations casework
Experience in a manufacturing, industrial or multi-site business

What you'll get

A starting salary of £30,000 - £35,000 per annum
A hybrid and flexible working policy (after initial training)
Fully funded professional memberships
Pension contribution from Radwell of up to 4%
Private Health/Medical Insurance
Life Insurance/Death in Service Insurance
Access to our benefits portal with a wide range of offerings from high street to local discounts!
A company passionate about wellbeing: 24/7 free health & wellbeing support through Medicash app and helpline and access to trained Mental Health First Aiders.
Free tea and coffee
Free on site parking
Celebration of National Engagement Days such as Employee Appreciation Day and a company passionate about supporting charitable and community work.
