Job description

HR Advisor


  • Negotiable salary plus excellent benefits
  • Permanent
  • Based near to Wigan
  • 40 hours per week
  • 3 days working on site, 2 days working from home


Are you an HR professional who thrives in a fast-paced, operational environment? Do you love being on the floor, building relationships, and making a real difference to the people around you? If so, this could be the perfect next step.


This is a well-established, values-led FMCG business based in the Northwest, with a genuine commitment to doing right by its people. With around 270 employees across manufacturing, this is a business where HR really matters — and where you'll be given the scope to make a real impact.


Key responsibilities of the HR Advisor:


As HR Advisor, you'll be a visible, trusted presence on site — embedded within the operational teams and supporting managers and employees across the full generalist remit. This isn't a desk-based role; you'll be on the floor, getting to know people, and being the go-to HR resource for the manufacturing population.


Day-to-day you can expect to be involved in:

  • Managing ER casework end-to-end — absence, grievances, and disciplinaries up to final written warning
  • Coaching and empowering managers to have difficult conversations and manage their own people issues with confidence
  • Supporting Team Leaders with performance management and talent development
  • Leading recruitment and onboarding for operational roles
  • Contributing to a varied project agenda including wellbeing, engagement, early careers, and the apprenticeship programme
  • HR KPI analysis and reporting, and ensuring payroll accuracy for the site


Key requirements for the HR Advisor:

  • Previous HR experience within FMCG, food manufacturing, or a similar fast-paced operational environment — this is essential
  • Strong ER knowledge and the confidence to handle a full caseload
  • A natural relationship-builder who can earn trust at all levels — from the shop floor to senior leadership
  • Someone who can challenge, influence, and hold people to account — not just advise
  • Resilient, adaptable, and comfortable managing multiple priorities at pace
  • CIPD qualified or working towards
  • Full-time on-site working is required — flexibility around shift patterns will occasionally be needed


The Package

  • 25 days holiday + 8 bank holidays + option to buy 3 more
  • Pension with up to 10% company match
  • Life assurance
  • Health and wellbeing support including mental health and menopause provision
  • Heavily subsidised on-site café
  • Annual all-expenses-paid company celebration
  • Ongoing development and project involvement from day one
