At The HR Booth, we work in partnership with our clients, taking great care and attention to understand our clients business, culture and people.

Our clients include growing and aspiring organisations with a range of sectors including manufacturing, technology and construction, as well as family businesses, charities and social enterprises and other SME organisations across many sectors. Our clients vary in size, some as small as 10 people, and others employing several hundred.
We have some exciting new opportunities in the pipeline with existing clients and some other businesses considering outsourcing their HR requirements. As such, we are looking to hire new talent into the business to support these future opportunities. This is a HR Generalist role and would suit candidates currently working as HR Advisor, HR Officer, HR Consultant, HR Business Partner or ER Advisor. We are looking for someone with a can-do attitude and someone who can build relationships with people at all levels of an organisation, and who is a team player.

About You
You should live up to our Core Values, which are:
Trust
Relationships
Quality
Solutions Minded
Agile and Responsiveness
Personal Development
You will want to make a positive difference to our clients, and you will enjoy working in a fast-paced environment, where flexibility and variety is something you are used to.
You should possess the following:
CIPD qualification is preferred but not essential
Previous experience at HR Advisor/Officer/Consultant level
UK driving licence with access to your own vehicle, as some travel will be expected to client sites
Sound knowledge of current UK employment law
The ability to communicate at all levels and develop a strong rapport with clients quickly
Good decision-making skills and the ability to take ownership of situations
Good IT skills
Collaboration and good time management skills
Flexibility to take on a range of responsibilities including administrative tasks as required by the business needs.
Exceptional customer service and communication skills.
The Role
Key responsibilities include, but are not limited to the following:
Provide advice and guidance to business owners, directors and managers via video telephone and email on a range of HR and ER subjects, including performance, absence, conduct, disciplinary and redundancy;
You will carry-out full and thorough investigation meetings and report findings, with recommendations;
Facilitate and manage disciplinary and grievance meetings, either independently or with managers;
Make recommendations to business owners/managers on their HR practices;
Review Employee Handbooks and policies and procedures, making recommendations for improvements;
Manage Long-Term sickness absence cases for clients, including organising occupational health referrals and follow up
Carry out job evaluations and salary benchmarking exercises where necessary.
Deliver training on a range of HR subjects, including how to conduct effective investigations, managing performance and handling difficult conversations.
This is a challenging and varied HR role, where you will be providing support to a number of businesses, all with different wants and needs across a range of sectors.
You will be expected to respond to emails and telephone enquiries. Therefore, you should be able to demonstrate you can work in a fast-paced environment. You will be expected to develop a good relationship with our clients, build rapport and have a good understanding of what is going on in their business and where HR can continue to add value.
Previous experience within outsourced HR would be an advantage, but what is more important is that you can demonstrate your experience within a generalist role and managing multiple cases.
As you will be part of a small team, you are expected to support all areas of the business, and therefore you must be prepared to get involved in transactional HR tasks as well as more complex cases when the need arises. You will work in collaboration with your colleagues, both remotely and on-site when required to do so.
We are a small and friendly team, and we offer good learning opportunities, flexible hours, hybrid working, support with professional training where appropriate, and an Employee Assistance Programme for our team and their families.

You will also be able to access hundreds of discounts with retailers globally, and we have other benefits such as cycle to work scheme.
We offer 30 days annual leave, plus an extra day off on your birthday. We also have a Christmas and New Year shutdown and paid time off for moments that matter - this could include attending a child's nativity, time off for a child's first day at school, your wedding (or divorce!). Theres also an additional days annual leave for a Wellbeing Wednesday, where you can take a day off to do something you enjoy whether its hillwalking, going to the gym, or retail therapy, you can have an extra day off on us! We also offer an early finish on Friday where some of our team choose to finish at 2pm and 3pm where their hours have been met, and on a rota basis someone stays on until 5pm each Friday to service our clients.
We believe strongly in the value of diversity and creating supportive, inclusive environments where our colleagues can succeed. As such, we are proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer.
You will have the chance to learn from our HR experts and gain exposure to a number of HR projects that you wont get from a typical HR role.
We know that sometimes the 'perfect candidate' doesn't exist, and that people can be put off applying for a job if they don't fit all the requirements. If you're excited about working for us and have most of the skills or experience we're looking for, please go ahead and apply. You could be just what we need!
