HR Advisor / People Advisor - Permanent

City of London | £45,000-£50,000 + Discretionary Bonus + Excellent Benefits | Hybrid Working

Macmillan Davies is delighted to be partnering with a highly regarded London law firm to recruit a permanent HR Advisor / People Advisor to join its established People & Culture team.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an HR professional looking to develop their career within a friendly, collaborative and supportive environment.

The organisation offers a particularly attractive benefits package, including a discretionary bonus, healthcare benefits and a range of additional employee benefits, alongside hybrid working with typically 2-3 days per week in the office.

The role

Working closely with the Senior People Business Partners, you'll provide a broad range of generalist HR advice and operational support, building strong relationships with managers and employees across the organisation.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Providing day-to-day HR advice and guidance to managers and employees.
• Supporting employee relations matters, including investigations, absence management, performance and other workplace issues.
• Advising on HR policies, procedures and employment-related matters.
• Supporting employee lifecycle activities, including onboarding, probation reviews, flexible working requests and exit interviews.
• Contributing to annual HR processes, including performance reviews, reward, promotion and employee engagement.
• Using HR systems and people data to support reporting and identify opportunities for improvement.
• Working collaboratively with the wider People & Culture team on HR projects and initiatives.

About you

We're looking for someone who is approachable, confident, organised and genuinely enjoys working with people.

You'll ideally bring:

• Experience in a generalist HR role, either at Advisor level or as an HR professional ready to take the next step.
• Some practical exposure to employee relations matters and a sound understanding of UK employment law.
• Experience working within a structured organisation with established HR policies and processes.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Excellent attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities.
• A proactive, collaborative and pragmatic approach, together with a genuine desire to develop professionally.

Previous experience within a law firm is not essential. Candidates from professional services, financial services, insurance and other commercial environments are equally encouraged to apply.

A CIPD qualification, or working towards one, would be welcomed.

What's on offer?

• Permanent position with a salary of £45,000-£50,000.
• Discretionary bonus.
• Healthcare benefits and an excellent wider benefits package.
• 25 days' annual leave.
• Hybrid working - typically 2-3 days per week in the City of London office.
• A supportive People & Culture team with opportunities for learning and professional development.
• The chance to build your HR career within a highly respected and progressive organisation.
