    • Managing end to end recruitment, from drafting job specs and liaising with agencies through to interviews and offer stage

    • Overseeing new starter, leaver and probation processes, including contracts, inductions and review scheduling

    • Administering absence, holiday and payroll documentation, including back-to-work interviews and training certification tracking

    • Coordinating annual Workstation Risk Assessments alongside wider HR compliance activity As HR Manager, your experience will include:

    • Proven experience as an HR Manager or senior HR Advisor, ideally within a manufacturing environment

    • Strong working knowledge of UK employment law and current HR best practice
