Senior HR Advisor
Premium Organic Food Brand
Location: North London (On-site)
Salary: £38,000 – £42,000 + Benefits
Are you an HR Generalist ready to step out of a large team and lead your own function? I am currently partnering with an incredible organic, artisan food manufacturer in North London to find a proactive, hands‑on Senior HR Advisor. This isn’t your typical corporate HR role; it’s a standalone position reporting directly to the Managing Director, offering you a seat at the table and the autonomy to truly "pave the way."
My client is a leader in the craft food space, blending traditional methods with organic principles. They are growing, and they need a people‑expert who can balance the fast‑paced demands of a production site with a high‑empathy, culture‑first approach.
The Role
This is a true 360‑degree generalist role. You will be the face of HR on‑site, responsible for:
- Managing the full recruitment cycle and creating a "best‑in‑class" induction and site‑tour experience.
- Providing pragmatic advice to managers and coaching them through ER casework with confidence.
- Owning the annual employee survey, leading appraisal processes, and spearheading recognition initiatives.
- Working with the wider group to refine policies and ensure the site is compliant, modern, and efficient.
Your Skills & Experience
- You must be CIPD Level 5 qualified (or currently studying toward completion).
- Proven Generalist Background: Solid experience managing the 360‑degree HR lifecycle, including recruitment, onboarding, and performance management.
- ER Expertise: Confident in providing pragmatic advice on disciplinary and grievance issues, ensuring all actions are in line with current UK employment law.
- Sector Knowledge: Ideally, you have experience within FMCG, Food Manufacturing, or a fast‑paced production environment.
- Autonomy: Proven ability to work independently, manage your own workload, and handle sensitive information with total discretion.
What’s in it for you?
This is a rare chance to move into a high‑visibility role where your impact is felt daily. If you are tired of being a small cog in a big HR machine and want to be the "go‑to" person for an artisan brand with real heart, this is for you.
PLEASE NOTE – Candidates MUST have full unlimited working rights as this company do not offer sponsorship.
