If you’re an HR Advisor currently bogged down in high-volume, repetitive ER casework and looking to get back to something more generalist where your days aren’t just dictated by disciplinaries, this could be the ideal move.

We are working with an established, progressive business offering a genuinely flexible, high-trust working culture. They operate with an outcomes-focused mindset, meaning you’ll have real autonomy over your diary while collaborating closely with a small, agile people team where you can make a visible impact across the whole employee lifecycle.

HR Advisor

Permanent

Up to £38,000

Remote (typically 1–2 days a month in the office near Rushden)

Reporting to the HR lead and operating as a core member of a tight-knit HR function, this is a broad, varied role designed for someone who enjoys wearing multiple hats. Unlike traditional advisor positions heavily dominated by employee relations, the ER caseload here is genuinely low. This leaves you with the actual bandwidth to get involved in meaningful people initiatives, drive employee engagement, and support the rollout of broader HR projects across the business.

You will take ownership of the day-to-day HR operations while partnering directly with line managers on everything from talent attraction and onboarding to performance cycles and learning and development interventions. You’ll act as a consultative sounding board for managers, coaching them through low-level queries, helping drive a positive workplace culture, and always looking for practical ways to streamline processes and reduce unnecessary admin burden. The appeal here is variety and breathing space; you won’t be treated as an order-taker, but as a trusted advisor who can keep things moving while contributing to the wider people agenda.

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for a proactive HR Generalist or Advisor with experience operating across the full spectrum of people activities. You should be someone who enjoys variety, communicates with ease, and is comfortable working independently in a remote, high-trust environment. Solid foundational knowledge of UK employment legislation and HR best practice is essential, but equally important is a collaborative attitude and willingness to manage your own admin load. If you’re looking for a balanced role that offers fantastic flexibility and the scope to build your experience in an HR function that rarely sees this kind of opportunity come up, apply.
