You will be a key driver of people performance in a unionised, safety-critical setting, balancing a complex ER caseload with the leadership of a dedicated team.

Leadership: Directly supervise and mentor a team of HR Administrators/Advisors, acting as the primary escalation point for complex queries.

Coaching & Development: Confidently present to and upskill managers on ER best practices and the latest 2026 employment law updates. Operational Agility: Maintain an "open door" approach, effectively managing your time to build relationships while being ready to pivot to urgent queries as they arise. The Candidate: The successful candidate will be an ambitious HR Generalist with a "can-do" attitude and a deep understanding of UK Employment Law (including recent 2026 legislative shifts). You must be able to answer the technical "nitty-gritty" from notice periods for formal investigations to the nuances of long-term sickness. Essential: CIPD Level 5 (minimum), though Level 7 is highly desirable. Experience: Proven track record in a unionised, industrial, or engineering environment. Attributes: A quick thinker with high emotional intelligence, able to challenge stakeholders and hold your own in a fast-paced, safety-conscious site.
