Job Title: HR Advisor / HR Officer (Temporary)
 Location:  Milford Haven, Pembrokeshire
 Contract Type: Temporary 
Pay Rate: £28-34k pro rata
 

The Opportunity:
We’re looking for an experienced HR professional to join this busy HR team on a temporary basis to support business-as-usual activity during an internal secondment to a key transformation project.
This is a hands-on, generalist HR role within a busy operational environment. You’ll play a key part in supporting managers with day-to-day HR casework and ensuring consistent and fair application of policies across the organisation.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Managing and advising on a range of employee relations cases including sickness absence, disciplinaries, grievances, and performance issues
  • Working closely with line managers to ensure consistent application of HR policies and procedures
  • Providing practical support across the full employee lifecycle
  • Maintaining accurate documentation and case records
  • Supporting the wider HR team with ongoing initiatives and administrative duties
  • Contributing to a positive and solutions-focused HR service

What We’re Looking For:

  • Strong HR generalist experience, ideally at Advisor or Officer level
  • Proven experience in case management (sickness, disciplinaries, grievances)
  • Sound understanding of UK employment law and HR best practice
  • Ability to work independently, manage workload and meet deadlines
  • Strong attention to detail and organisational skills
  • Confident user of Microsoft Office 365
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
  • Ability to build trust and work confidentially at all times

Nice to Have:

  • CIPD qualification (Level 3 or above)
  • Experience in an operational or unionised environment
  • Knowledge of public sector or marine-related industries advantageous

Working Arrangements:

  • Hours: Full-time or part-time considered (up to 30 hours/week over 4–5 days, or 3 full days)
  • Location: Hybrid working – ideally 2–3 days per week on-site in Milford Haven or operational locations
  • Flexibility: Some remote work supported; however, due to the operational nature of the role, regular on-site presence is expected
  • Travel: Candidates should be within 40 minute commuting distance to Milford Haven – this role would not suit those with a lengthy daily commute or the need to relocate due to the temporary nature of the position.
