We're looking to recruit an experienced Senior HR Advisor to join our HR Shared Services team. This is an exciting opportunity to become part of a supportive team, responsible for working with both retail colleagues and managers across 750 stores nationwide, providing generalist HR advice over the phone for a high-volume case load.
We're seeking a role model of best practise who can focus on de-escalating any HR issues to help prevent formal processes wherever possible.

You'll thrive in a fast-paced, reactive environment, managing multiple priorities and stakeholders at once.
This position is office-based, 5 days a week in Speke, Liverpool.
In this role, you will:
- Advise, support, and guide on all aspects of the colleague life cycle including employee relations, employment law, contracts, disciplinary, grievances, sickness, absence, and performance management
- Coach and develop a team of Shared Service Advisors in their day-to-day activities in a fast-paced working environment
- Provide advice primarily via telephone
- Balance multiple priorities to ensure smooth resolution of all ER cases
To be successful, you’ll have:
- Experience as a Senior HR Advisor managing a high volume of cases (ideally within retail, but not essential)
- Experience working in a commercial setting with a pragmatic, solution focused approach
- Up to date knowledge of employment legislation and the ability to apply HR best practice
- Strong Microsoft Office skills and confidence using in house tracking and reporting systems
- A friendly, supportive, and empathetic approach, with the confidence to challenge and make fact-based, balanced decisions
