Regional HR Advisor

Elevation HR are recruiting for an experienced Regional HR Advisor to join an established operational business on a 12-month fixed-term contract.

This is a hands-on regional HR role supporting a geographically dispersed workforce across the Midlands and South, with a strong focus on complex employee relations. The role will suit an experienced HR Advisor who is confident working autonomously, supporting operational managers and managing a busy ER caseload.

• Supporting complex and long-term absence, including Occupational Health and reasonable adjustments
• Coaching and challenging managers to ensure fair and consistent outcomes
• Working confidently with recognised trade unions and employee representatives
• Supporting investigations, formal meetings and hearings
• Providing pragmatic, commercially focused HR advice
• Building strong relationships across a dispersed operational workforce
• Escalating complex cases appropriately and working closely with senior HR colleagues

Benefits as a Regional HR Advisor include:

• £40,000 salary + £6,500 car allowance
• Travel across the Midlands and South, including occasional overnight stays
• 25 days annual leave + bank holidays
• Free parking and EV charging

The ideal Regional HR Advisor will have:

• Previous HR Advisor experience within a complex operational environment
• Strong employee relations experience
• Experience managing disciplinary, grievance, performance and absence cases
• Confidence advising and challenging operational managers
• Good knowledge of UK employment legislation
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
• The ability to manage a busy caseload and work autonomously
• CIPD Level 5 or equivalent experience

If you're an experienced HR Advisor with strong ER and trade union experience, and you're looking for a varied regional role with genuine autonomy, we'd love to hear from you.
