Hr Officer

Job Description:

HR Officer (Part-Time)

We’re working with a well-established engineering and manufacturing business in Leicester that is looking to bring in a part-time HR professional to support the day-to-day people operations across the company.

This role isn’t about transforming HR strategy or redesigning systems. The foundations are already in place. What the business needs is a practical, reliable HR professional who can keep things running smoothly, support managers, and ensure day to day processes are followed & delivered properly.

If you’re someone who enjoys being close to the business, working with people, and handling the real-life situations that come with managing a workforce, this could be a great fit.

The role

This is a hands-on HR position where you’ll support managers and employees across a range of people-related matters.

This is perfect for someone who enjoys being visible in the business, building relationships with managers and supporting teams on the ground.

You’ll be responsible for ensuring HR processes are handled correctly and consistently while providing guidance and support to the wider management team.

Typical responsibilities will include:

• Managing right to work checks and onboarding processes
• Issuing employment contracts and handling contractual changes
• Supporting managers with absence management and employee relations matters
• Advising on HR procedures and helping managers navigate people issues
• Supporting with disciplinary and performance conversations when required
• Maintaining accurate HR records and documentation
• Ensuring HR processes are followed consistently across the business
• Acting as a trusted point of contact for managers and employees

About you

This role would suit someone who enjoys the operational side of HR and is comfortable working directly with people across a busy business.

You’ll bring:

• Previous experience in a hands-on HR Advisor or HR Officer role within a busy operational environment
• The confidence to support managers directly and deal with day-to-day HR matters independently
• A practical, process-driven approach to HR
• Confidence dealing with employee relations matters and difficult conversations
• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail
• The ability to build trust with managers and employees across the business
• A friendly, approachable style while still maintaining professional boundaries

Why this opportunity?

• A part-time role (30 hours per week) offering flexibility
• A well-established business with a stable and supportive team
• A varied role where no two days are the same
• The chance to work closely with managers and make a genuine difference to the people side of the business
