Human Resources Advisor

Location: Haslingden
Salary: £39,000
Type: Full-time, Permanent

Are you an HR professional with a strong personality, commercial mindset, and a genuine passion for people?

I’m looking for a confident and proactive HR Advisor to join a forward-thinking organisation where the People function truly adds value. Working closely with the Head of HR and HR Assistant, you’ll be part of a collaborative, energetic team that is committed to creating a workplace where employees thrive.

This is not a sit-back-and-maintain role. We need someone who can build relationships, challenge constructively, influence with confidence, and bring a real "can do" attitude to everything they do.


The Role

As HR Advisor, you’ll provide hands-on, practical HR support across the full employee lifecycle. You’ll be a trusted partner to managers, guiding them through people matters with clarity and confidence.

Key responsibilities include:
*Advising leaders on employee relations, recruitment & selection, performance management, and learning & development
*Managing ER cases including disciplinaries, grievances, and absence management fairly and consistently
*Supporting managers with both short-term and long-term sickness absence cases
*Leading the recruitment process end-to-end from vacancy approval to offer
*Managing onboarding and induction to ensure an exceptional new starter experience
*Reviewing and implementing policies and procedures, identifying gaps and training managers to ensure consistent application
*Keeping up to date with employment law changes and updating policies accordingly
*Leading employee engagement initiatives, projects, and events aligned to business strategy
*Maintaining accurate HR records and documentation
*Supporting wider HR projects and internal communications

About You

You’re approachable, credible, and confident. Managers value your advice because you communicate clearly, think commercially, and aren’t afraid to guide them toward the right decisions.

You’ll bring:
*Previous experience in a HR Advisor role
*A solid understanding of HR best practice and UK employment law
*CIPD Level 5 (or working towards)
*Excellent interpersonal and communication skills
*Strong organisational skills with the ability to juggle priorities
*The confidence to influence and challenge appropriately
*A proactive, solutions-focused mindset
*High attention to detail and a natural ability to problem-solve

What’s in It for You?

This organisation truly invests in its people. Benefits include:
*Employee life insurance policy
*Enhanced holiday entitlement
*Additional holiday after 5 years’ service
*Holiday purchase scheme
*Employee recognition scheme
*Length of service recognition
*Enhanced maternity pay
*Enhanced paternity pay
*Enhanced pension
*Flexible hours (unless specified otherwise in contract)
*"We Care" – 24 Hour GP access
*Employee Assistance Programme (EAP)
*Discounted vouchers from high street stores
*Social events

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a business that genuinely values its People function. You’ll have the autonomy to make an impact, the support of a collaborative HR team, and the opportunity to lead meaningful initiatives that shape culture and engagement.

If you’re an HR professional with personality, resilience, and a real passion for making a difference I’d love to hear from you.
