About the role

We’re looking for a hands on HR Advisor to join us in a broad, generalist role with real ownership across employee relations, manager support and day to day HR delivery.

You’ll be the go-to person for HR queries, working closely with the Head of HR to ensure consistent, fair and pragmatic people decisions across the business. You’ll play a key role in supporting managers, navigating people challenges, and helping shape how HR operates as we continue to grow.

This role suits someone who enjoys being close to the business, is confident handling people matters, and wants to have genuine impact in a fast-paced, scale-up environment.

This role is primarily remote, with occasional visits to the London office a few times per year for team collaboration.

About the Team

You’ll be joining a lean HR function, working directly with the Head of HR. This means real exposure, autonomy, and the opportunity to get involved across the full employee lifecycle, not just a narrow remit.

It’s a hands-on role where you’ll build strong relationships across the business and have the chance to shape processes, improve ways of working, and make a visible difference.

What you'll be doing

Employee Relations

• Manage a caseload of ER matters (absence, performance, conduct)
• Provide practical, commercially focused HR advice to managers
• Draft clear, accurate documentation (letters, outcomes, processes)
• Escalate complex or high-risk cases appropriately
• Ensure fair, consistent and legally compliant outcomes

Manager Support

• Partner with managers on day-to-day people queries
• Support performance management (informal and formal)
• Guide decision-making and build manager confidence
• Help embed consistent, pragmatic HR practices

HR Operations

• Support onboarding and offboarding
• Maintain accurate employee data and documentation
• Benefits administration
• Contribute to improving HR processes and efficiency

Policies & Compliance

• Apply policies consistently across the business
• Support updates in line with legislation and business needs
• Stay up to date with employment law and best practice
