Reed is delighted to be partnering with a leading UK logistics provider in the recruitment of an HR Advisor to join their team on a fixed-term contract until the end of December.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a fast-paced business during a busy and evolving period. They are looking for an experienced HR professional who can provide hands-on support across a broad range of people-focused activities.

The role offers excellent variety and will suit someone who enjoys working across all areas of HR. Depending on your strengths and experience, you will have the opportunity to support recruitment, onboarding and induction, employee engagement initiatives, reward activities and wider HR projects.

The Role

As HR Advisor, you will support the delivery of an effective and proactive HR service across the organisation. Working closely with managers and employees, you will help drive key people initiatives while ensuring a positive employee experience throughout the employee lifecycle.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Supporting recruitment activities across the business, from candidate attraction through to onboarding
• Coordinating and delivering induction programmes for new starters
• Supporting employee engagement initiatives and retention activities
• Assisting with reward and recognition projects
• Providing HR guidance and support to managers and employees
• Maintaining accurate employee records and HR documentation
• Supporting workforce planning and recruitment campaigns during busy periods
• Contributing to HR projects and organisational improvement initiatives
• Building strong relationships with stakeholders across the business
• Supporting the HR team with generalist HR activities as required

About You

We are looking for a proactive and adaptable HR professional who enjoys working in a busy environment and can quickly build credibility with stakeholders.

To be successful, you will have:

• Previous experience within a generalist HR position, ideally at HR Advisor level
• Experience supporting and delivering successful HR projects
• A good understanding of the employee lifecycle, particularly recruitment and onboarding
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• The ability to manage multiple priorities within a fast-paced environment
• Excellent organisational and administrative skills
• A collaborative and hands-on approach
• Experience working within a large-scale or fast-moving organisation

Employee relations experience is not essential, making this an excellent opportunity for someone looking to broaden their HR experience in a varied generalist role.

What's on Offer?

• Exposure to a wide range of HR activities and projects
• Flexibility to work from home up to two days per week, depending on business requirements
• Free on-site parking

This is a fantastic opportunity for an HR professional looking for an immediately available contract role where they can make a real impact. If you thrive in a busy environment and enjoy supporting a wide range of HR activities, we'd love to hear from you.
