Macildowie are working with this client based in North Nottinghamshire to recruit an experienced HR Generalist / HR Advisor on an exclusive basis.

This is an urgent temporary requirement with the potential to become permanent for the right person. Due to the timescales involved, we're looking for somebody who is immediately available to interview and able to start at short notice.

Working within a fast-paced engineering and manufacturing environment, this is a genuinely broad and hands-on generalist HR opportunity.

You'll work closely with the HR Manager, supporting managers and employees across the full employee lifecycle while taking ownership of the important day-to-day HR administration that keeps a busy operational site running effectively.

This isn't a role for somebody looking to step away from operational HR. You'll be visible across the site, comfortable working with an operational workforce and equally happy supporting an employee relations issue, coordinating recruitment or getting into the detail of HR systems, payroll information and employee documentation.

What will you be doing?

Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing permanent and temporary recruitment activity from sourcing through to onboarding
• Supporting managers with disciplinary, grievance, attendance management and other employee relations matters
• Coaching and guiding managers through investigations and formal HR processes
• Supporting the preparation of investigation documentation and taking minutes where required
• Maintaining accurate employee records and HR systems
• Managing HR letters, references, flexible working requests and other employee documentation
• Supporting temporary workforce administration and temp-to-perm activity
• Coordinating employee engagement, wellbeing, charity and inclusion initiatives
• Supporting the review and administration of HR policies
• Producing and analysing HR metrics and people data
• Coordinating learning and development activity
• Supporting training administration and reporting
• Supporting continuous improvement initiatives
• Coordinating monthly payroll administration, including sickness, overtime, employee changes and other payroll information
• Providing day-to-day HR advice and support to operational managers

What are we looking for?

We're looking for a practical, organised HR professional who enjoys getting involved across the full generalist remit.

You'll ideally have:

• Previous generalist HR experience
• Experience providing employee relations advice and support.
• Recruitment experience
• Strong HR administration skills
• A working knowledge of UK employment law
• Experience supporting and coaching managers.
• Strong organisational and prioritisation skills
• The ability to build trust and maintain confidentiality.
• Confidence communicating with people at all levels
• Strong Microsoft Office skills, including Excel, Word and Outlook
• Experience gained within manufacturing, engineering, logistics, distribution, FMCG or another fast-paced operational environment would be particularly advantageous.
• Exposure to payroll administration, HR systems, time and attendance systems or Lean/continuous improvement environments would also be beneficial.
• CIPD Level 3 or 5 would be advantageous, although strong practical HR experience is more important than formal qualification for this opportunity.

What's on offer?

• Competitive salary
• Immediate temporary opportunity
• Genuine potential to become permanent.
• 37.5 hours per week
• Approx. 7:30am - 3:30pm
• One working-from-home day per week.
• Broad generalist HR exposure
• Opportunity to work closely with an experienced HR Manager
• Longer-term career development if the opportunity becomes permanent.

Due to the urgent nature of the requirement, applicants must be immediately available to interview and able to start ASAP .
