Here at GXO, we’re looking for a full-time, permanent HR Advisor to join us on our WHSmith contract in Swindon. You’ll be the on-site HR lead, supporting around 200 colleagues across warehouse and transport functions. From employee relations to engagement initiatives, you’ll be the go-to person for all things HR, working closely with managers, union reps, and central teams to keep everything running smoothly.

Pay, benefits and more:

You’ll be paid a salary of between £28,000 - £35,000 per annum, depending upon experience.

Your benefits package includes a company sponsored pension scheme, private medical and dental insurance, a 24/7 online GP service, life assurance and a fully comprehensive employee assistance programme. You’ll have access to our MyBenefits platform offering a variety of high street discounts, a cycle to work scheme, cashback cards, a saving scheme and much more. You’ll also have access to our GXO University which provides you with the opportunity to learn new skills and gain qualifications at a pace that you’re comfortable with. There’s also our continued focus on internal promotions, over 60% last year!

What you’ll do on a typical day:

• Provide generalist HR support across the site, advising managers and employees on a wide range of topics
• Lead on employee relations cases including absence, disciplinary and grievance processes
• Support the site’s talent agenda - from appraisals and succession planning to development workshops
• Drive employee engagement and wellbeing initiatives
• Monitor HR metrics and provide regular reports to the HR Manager
• Build strong relationships with union reps and promote a positive site culture
