What does great HR mean to you?
Doing things differently and making things count, in a human and simple way, is our approach to HR at Penguin Random House.
We have a fantastic opportunity to join the team as a HR Advisor for our Distribution Division based in Frating, Colchester on a 12-month FTC.
This is a busy and varied role supporting the full employee life cycle. Acting as a first point of contact for managers, you’ll get stuck into everything from talent management, reward and employee relations through to coaching and guiding our managers and employees through topics such as wellness.
You’ll play a key role at each stage of someone’s time with us - from welcoming them on their first day, partnering with the L&D team to support people to learn and grow, helping people plan their family leave, and supporting career progression.
In this role, you will support approximately 350 individuals and we are looking for an HR Advisor who can thrive in this challenging but fun role by promoting a pro-active approach and paying attention to the detail.
This role will cover all areas of HR and offers a great opportunity to get exposure to different teams across the whole business.
Ideally you will have:
- Exposure to dealing with a variety of HR elements. Including, but not limited to disciplinary, grievances, absence management, Union relationships, parental leave and other sensitive HR areas of responsibility
- Experience working within a generalist HR role, including experience of working directly with managers
- Sound knowledge of employment law and HR best practice
- Motivation to develop and ability to build relationships across the business areas
- Familiarity with HRIS systems beneficial, but not essential
- CIPD qualification is also beneficial
- The ability to organise your work effectively and keep on top of competing priorities
