HR Advisor | £35,000 | Hinckley, Leicestershire
Ready to step out of operations and into HR for real?
Calling all Hospitality & Retail People Managers, HR Managers and ER specialists
If you love employee relations, coaching managers, solving people problems and want to move into a fully HR-focused role (without juggling rotas, stock takes or weekend shifts), this could be the career move you've been waiting for.
I'm partnering with a leading professional services business to support the growth of their HR Advisory team. This is a brilliant opportunity for people-focused professionals from fast-paced hospitality or retail environments who want to specialise in HR and employment law while still working at pace.
Day to Day
- Managing a varied caseload of ER matters (from quick advice queries to complex cases end-to-end)
- Advising managers and business owners via phone and email
- Coaching clients through best practice, legally compliant and commercial options
- Building trusted relationships with clients through empathy, clarity and confidence
- Supporting with document reviews, policy guidance and ad-hoc letters
- Keeping advice accurate, compliant and clearly recorded
- Working to clear KPIs (quality-focused, not sales-driven)
This role is ideal for you if…
- You've worked in hospitality or retail as a People Manager, HR Manager or ER specialist
- You enjoy complex employee relations and advising managers
- You want to step away from operational HR into a specialist advisory role
- You thrive in a fast-paced environment and enjoy problem-solving
- You're curious, commercially aware and love learning
Employment law knowledge is helpful – but attitude, people skills and ER experience matter most.
What's in it for you?
- £35,000 salary, reviewed twice a year
- Commission opportunities + profit share
- 25 days holiday + bank holidays (rising with service)
- Your birthday off
- Private medical (with service)
- Employee Assistance Programme
- Continuous training from in-house specialists
- Clear career pathways within HR advisory
- Incentives including weekends away, vouchers, meals out & extra time off
- Social events, team days, awards evenings and genuine recognition
Supportive. High-energy. Development-focused culture!
You'll be surrounded by people who want you to succeed, backed by a senior leadership team that listens and invests in its people.
Interested?
If you're currently in retail or hospitality HR/People management and thinking "I want to do HR properly now", I'd love to tell you more.
