Colchester, United Kingdom Penguin Books Limited Full time

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

Here, you’ll work with a breadth of talent who all play their part to make each of our books a success. Together, we make books for everyone because a book can change anyone.

**Our approach to hybrid working**:
This is a hybrid role where you will be expected to work from the office in Frating, Colchester 3-4 times a week. There will activities and meetings you will need to attend occasionally, in our offices based in London and Grantham.

**What you can expect from us**:
**Salary**: £32,000 - £36,000 depending on how your skills and experience align to the role, plus benefits.
