HR Business Partner – Food Manufacturing Sunderland | £40,000 – £45,000 | Site-Based There are HR Business Partner roles that are all policy policing and box-ticking. Then there are ones where you actually get to make things better. This is the second kind. You’ll be partnering with managers across a busy food manufacturing site — a place where things move fast, people are hands-on, and HR needs to be, too. You’ll have a proper seat at the table (and probably a hi-vis on it), working closely with operations to support, challenge, and coach. The job in a nutshell: You’ll be the go-to for all things people. That means… • Managing ER cases from start to finish – coaching managers, keeping things fair, and staying legally watertight., • Keeping policies, procedures, and training up to scratch (and actually relevant)., • Supporting payroll and benefits accuracy — because no one thanks you when it’s wrong., • Managing recruitment and onboarding for your area, helping new starters actually want to stay., • Partnering on projects around engagement, workforce planning, and change., • Spotting where processes could be slicker — and having the initiative to make it happen. What you’ll need: • A solid HR background — around 3–5 years as a generalist or HRBP., • Confident handling complex ER cases in line with UK employment law., • CIPD Level 5 (or well on your way there)., • Experience with HR systems like SuccessFactors or Kronos would be handy., • Someone who likes being out on the shop floor, not just stuck behind a spreadsheet. What you’ll get: • £40,000–£45,000 salary (depending on experience), • A genuinely varied role with influence and visibility, • The chance to shape how HR works in a growing, people-focused manufacturing business, • Supportive leadership that actually values HR as more than just admin

HR Advisor – Food Manufacturing Sunderland | £30,000 | Site-Based If you’re looking for an HR role where you can genuinely make an impact — not just push paper and chase signatures — this could be a good fit. You’ll be working closely with a proactive HR Business Partner and site leadership team, supporting around 250 people in a busy food manufacturing environment. It’s hands-on, varied, and fast-moving — the kind of place where no two days are the same, and that’s exactly what you like about HR. What you’ll be doing: • Managing low-to-mid-level ER cases — absence management, investigations, disciplinaries — the real people stuff., • Supporting recruitment and onboarding: interviews, offer letters, right-to-work checks, inductions, and everything in between., • Keeping HR data clean and accurate across systems like SuccessFactors and Kronos (because numbers that don’t add up drive you mad)., • Handling payroll changes, queries, and ensuring everything runs smoothly for month-end., • Supporting training coordination and tracking compliance., • Getting involved in engagement activities — surveys, comms, events — the bits that make work a bit more human. What we’re looking for: • You’ll already have experience in HR — ideally 1–3 years in a generalist role., • Confident handling day-to-day HR queries and lower-level ER issues., • Working towards your CIPD Level 5 (or already have it)., • Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment — manufacturing experience would be a big plus., • Great with people, detail, and deadlines — in that order. What’s in it for you: • A visible, hands-on role in a growing manufacturing business., • Lots of variety and responsibility — this isn’t a box-ticking HR job., • The chance to develop alongside a supportive HR team who’ll actually help you progress.
