This role will be based from Spennymoor minimum 3 days per week with option to work 2 days from home office.

  • Supporting managers with first-stage grievance and disciplinary matters, including meeting preparation, documentation, note-taking and follow-up actions.

  • Supporting attendance and absence management, helping managers prepare for reviews and maintain accurate records.

  • Providing first-line guidance on HR policies and processes, escalating more complex or sensitive matters to the HR Business Partner.

  • Preparing letters, contracts and other employee documentation, and keeping HR systems and employee records accurate and up to date.

  • Coordinating recruitment activity, including advertising vacancies, arranging interviews and keeping candidates and hiring managers informed.

  • Supporting offer administration, pre-employment checks and onboarding.

  • Helping improve the processes and administration that support the employee journey.

  • Experience in an HR advisory or generalist role, or a strong HR administration background with experience supporting employee relations cases.

  • A working knowledge of UK employment law and confidence applying HR policies consistently.

  • The ability to support managers through straightforward employee relations matters and recognise when additional guidance is needed.

  • Strong organisational skills, attention to detail and the ability to balance casework with day-to-day administration.

  • An approachable communication style and the discretion to handle sensitive information.

  • A willingness to get involved in both employee relations and the essential administration behind a busy People team.
