Bridgwater, United Kingdom Refresco Deutschland GmbH Full time

**HR Advisor - Refresco UK - Bridgwater, Somerset**

**Competitive salary, plus annual bonus, plus good company pension, on-site free parking**

**Refresco,** the world's largest independent soft drinks manufacturer. Refresco, Bridgwater is a modern, state of the art factory - Europe’s largest drinks manufacturer.

We really do have that 'wow factor' - 158,000 square metres, 650 colleagues employed across 4 factories, working a variety of shifts. We have 28 production lines and a large warehouse and transport facility all under one roof. We produce billions of litres of soft drinks each year for some of the best-known names in soft drinks.

People are at the heart of what we do. Driven by a new dynamic leadership team, this is a fantastic time to join and be part of our ambitious plans for growth as the HR Advisor will play a key role in delivering the site people plan, centred around improving factory reliability through the engagement of people.

**About the role**

Reporting to the HR Business Partner, the HR Advisor is part of a small team and will work with agreed stakeholders, which could include a mixture of the following teams - Cartons, Bottles, Warehouse Engineering, Technical and other associated functions.

The job holder will manage a range of HR transactional activities, to include absence management, employee relations, employee engagement initiatives, and recognitions and reward arrangements.

Experience gained in a large organisation (FMCG/Retail/Pharmaceuticals/Manufacturing) HR department is an advantage, as is exposure to a unionised environment (Refresco Bridgwater has a full recognition union agreement with Unite).

This is a fantastic opportunity for a career-minded, professional HR practitioner to work with like-minded individuals in making a difference at this premier site.

You are likely to be a HR Advisor or very much ready for such a role, but to be transparent, some of your key tasks and responsibilities are set out below:

- Providing expert advice on employee relations, conduct, performance management, grievances, probation reviews and change management.
- Supporting and coaching line managers through the company absence management procedures.
- Making referrals to Occupational Health and working with managers to ensure all reasonable recommendations are put in place.
- Work closely with line managers, providing them with advice, guidance and coaching in line with the company policies and procedures and terms and conditions of employment to ensure a consistent and fair approach is adopted.
- Support organisational change, restructuring and development where needed.
- Build effective working relationships with colleagues at all levels, providing advice and guidance on a range of HR policies and HR related issues and communicate HR best practice.
- Ensure personal continued professional development is undertaken to keep up to date with latest legislative changes.

**About you**

Confident, articulate and personable, you will have energy, drive, enjoy working at pace. You will be proactive in approach and can demonstrate where you have made a difference. Ideally you have worked for a food manufacturer or large busy site, so are familiar with the situations arising.

You will hold a CIPD Level 5 qualification or studying towards this. You may already be a HR Advisor in a smaller business and ready for more a challenge, or you may be a good HR Administrator ready to take the next step. Certainly, you can demonstrate success in your current role and can add value to our on-site HR team.

**Reward & benefits**:
The salary for this role is dependent on experience.

Working hours are Monday - Thursday 8.30 - 5.00, Fridays 8.30 - 4.00 and we have free, onsite parking. In addition, we offer an annual bonus incentive and a good company pension scheme, 25 days holiday in addition to bank holidays (with the option to purchase additional holidays) and access to a sports and social fund.

**About Refresco**

Our drinks on every table. That's the Refresco vision. We’re a global business and currently produce 12 billion litres of soft drinks from 78 manufacturing plants in Europe, North America and we've just opened in Australia, and we’re only just getting started. The business has grown from just 2 sites in 1999. Our Group Headquarters are based in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

We’re the proud owners of six drinks manufacturing sites within the UK.
