We're looking for an experienced HR Advisor to join a friendly, down-to-earth HR team. You'll be based in Cardiff but will work closely with colleagues across other locations, so occasional travel (around once a month) may be required.
This is a standalone, hands-on role supporting managers and employees with a wide range of HR matters. You'll need strong employee relations experience and the confidence to handle a busy, fast-paced environment where no two days are the same.

-
Support employee relations, absence management, performance issues, and other sensitive cases.
-
Work closely with managers to guide them through HR processes, ensuring consistency, fairness, and legal compliance.
-
Build strong relationships across the Cardiff site, acting as a trusted point of contact for employees.
-
Collaborate with the wider HR team to deliver a consistent HR approach.
-
Support recruitment activity, including pre-screening, interview coordination, and salary benchmarking.
-
Contribute to HR projects and initiatives linked to growth, engagement, and organisational change.
-
Maintain accurate employee records and ensure compliance with legislation and company policies.
-
Deliver training and coaching to managers on HR processes where required.
-
Assist with onboarding, employee engagement initiatives, and payroll processes as needed.
What experience you'll need
- 3-5 years' experience in a fast-paced HR Advisor role
- Solid employee relations experience, confident managing complex, and sensitive cases.
- Comfortable working in a standalone capacity while collaborating with remote HR colleagues.
- Personable, approachable, and resilient - able to build trust and credibility quickly.
- Confident communicator who can challenge and influence where needed.
- CIPD Level 5 (or equivalent experience) would be an advantage.

-
Salary up to £35,000
-
Standalone, varied, and people-centred role in a growing business.
-
Hybrid working: 3 days in the office, 2 days from home (after initial period).
