The opportunity;
Our client is a growing UK & Ireland business within a global organisation, operating with a high level of local autonomy while benefiting from shared international systems and expertise. The organisation is on an exciting growth journey with further expansion plans. They are now looking to appoint the first HR Advisor to support the growing workforce in the UK and Ireland.
What You’ll Be Doing;
This is a fantastic role for an HR Advisor who wants to grow their career in a global, acquisitive business and gain exposure well beyond traditional HR administration. Working closely with the UK&I leadership team and partnering with colleagues across the UK, Ireland and the wider international HR community, you’ll play a key role in delivering a high‑quality, hands‑on HR service that supports managers and employees through change and growth.
You’ll be involved in day‑to‑day HR operations, while also contributing to integration activity, system rollouts and people initiatives — making this an ideal career move for someone looking to broaden their experience and build confidence in a more complex environment.
As an HR Advisor, you’ll support the full employee lifecycle and act as a trusted first point of contact for managers and employees. Your responsibilities will include:
- Providing practical HR advice on employee relations matters including absence, performance, conduct and capability.
- Supporting onboarding, offboarding and changes arising from business growth and acquisitions.
- Assisting with the harmonisation of policies, processes and terms & conditions following acquisitions.
- Supporting managers with people processes, embedding consistent ways of working.
- Playing a key role in the UK rollout of the global HR system, supporting change, adoption and data accuracy.
- Coordinating HR processes such as annual performance and salary review cycles.
- Liaising with payroll providers and ensuring accurate inputs and approvals.
- Producing HR data and people metrics to support decision‑making.
- Working collaboratively with global HR colleagues and adopting best practice from across the group.
This role is based onsite in Camberley 5 days a week.
What We’re Looking For;
This role would suit an ambitious HR Advisor who is ready to move into a broader, more commercially‑exposed role.
You will bring:
- Previous experience in an HR Advisor role within a fast‑paced environment.
- A solid understanding of UK employment law and HR best practice.
- Confidence dealing directly with managers and employees.
- A practical, solutions‑focused mindset with strong attention to detail.
- An interest in HR systems, data and process improvement.
- Comfort working in a changing environment with some ambiguity.
- Strong organisation skills and the ability to prioritise effectively.
- A collaborative, low‑ego approach and willingness to roll up your sleeves.
Experience of supporting TUPE transfers, acquisitions or HR system implementations would be an advantage — but is not essential.
