Cardiff, Cardiff, United Kingdom Yolk Recruitment Ltd Full time £35,000 - £52,500 per year

HR Advisor- £35,000

**Cardiff City Centre - Hybrid

Permanent, Full-time (9am -5:30pm)**

Yolk Recruitment is working exclusively with a leading insurance company that's been on an exciting growth journey. The business is people-focused and values open communication, collaboration, and flexibility in the way they work.

We're looking for an experienced HR Advisor to join a friendly, down-to-earth HR team. You'll be based in Cardiff but will work closely with colleagues across other locations, so occasional travel (around once a month) may be required.

This is a standalone, hands-on role supporting managers and employees with a wide range of HR matters. You'll need strong employee relations experience and the confidence to handle a busy, fast-paced environment where no two days are the same.

What the role involves:

  • Act as the first point of contact for day-to-day HR matters, providing guidance and support to managers and employees.
  • Support employee relations, absence management, performance issues, and other sensitive cases.
  • Work closely with managers to guide them through HR processes, ensuring consistency, fairness, and legal compliance.
  • Build strong relationships across the Cardiff site, acting as a trusted point of contact for employees.
  • Collaborate with the wider HR team to deliver a consistent HR approach.
  • Support recruitment activity, including pre-screening, interview coordination, and salary benchmarking.
  • Contribute to HR projects and initiatives linked to growth, engagement, and organisational change.
  • Maintain accurate employee records and ensure compliance with legislation and company policies.
  • Deliver training and coaching to managers on HR processes where required.
  • Assist with onboarding, employee engagement initiatives, and payroll processes as needed.

What experience you'll need

  • 3-5 years' experience in a fast-paced HR Advisor role
  • Solid employee relations experience, confident managing complex, and sensitive cases.
  • Comfortable working in a standalone capacity while collaborating with remote HR colleagues.
  • Personable, approachable, and resilient - able to build trust and credibility quickly.
  • Confident communicator who can challenge and influence where needed.
  • CIPD Level 5 (or equivalent experience) would be an advantage.

Why this is a great opportunity:

  • Salary up to £35,000
  • Standalone, varied, and people-centred role in a growing business.
  • Hybrid working: 3 days in the office, 2 days from home (after initial period).
  • 32 days' annual leave (including bank holidays).
  • Company-paid health cash plan.
  • Pension scheme - 3% employer contribution.
  • Holiday buy scheme - up to 3 extra days per year.
  • Tech scheme - save on the latest tech over 12 months.
  • Cycle to Work scheme - save on a new bike over 12 months.
  • Life assurance (4x salary).
