Starting as soon as possible, this position is perfect for someone who excels at building credible relationships across a regional workforce and enjoys the flexibility of remote working. If you are a self-motivated generalist who can provide practical, people-focused guidance while navigating complex employee relations, this role offers a fantastic opportunity to influence a diverse organization from your home base in or near Kent.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide day to day HR advice on employee relations matters, policies, processes, and best practice

• Support managers with sickness, performance, conduct, and capability cases

• Guide and coach stakeholders to build confidence in managing people-related issues

• Maintain accurate HR records and ensure compliance with legislation and company policies

About you

• Experienced in an HR Advisor or similar generalist role

• Confident managing ER cases from start to finish

• Knowledgeable about UK employment law and HR best practice

• A strong communicator, able to build trust and credibility quickly

• Self motivated, organised, and comfortable working remotely

• Ideally based in Kent or nearby for ad hoc travel to local sites

• CIPD qualification for this role is not essential.

About the Role

In this position, you will serve as a vital link between corporate policy and regional operations, acting as a trusted consultant to managers on all aspects of the employee lifecycle. Your primary focus will be managing end-to-end Employee Relations (ER) cases, including sickness, conduct, and performance management, while coaching stakeholders to improve their own leadership capabilities. While the role is predominantly home-based, your occasional presence at sites in Kent will help maintain the personal connections necessary for effective HR support. You will be part of a collaborative wider team, contributing to continuous improvement projects and ensuring that the organization remains compliant with the latest UK employment legislation.
