HR Adviser

Job content

Mawdsleys are a global pharmaceutical service provider offering a wide range of services to the pharmaceutical industry and healthcare sector. We are the largest independent pharmaceutical wholesaler in the UK with a fast growing international network supplying medicines to meet patient needs and providing a route to market for manufacturers. We are fully managed and regulatory compliant, sourcing imported medicines for specific patient needs. The company is experiencing growth at the moment, providing a much needed healthcare service.

We are looking for an HR Adviser to assist the Head of HR in providing a generalist HR service to the Mawdsleys group of over 700 employees. The role is new to the business, but will involve managing employee relations issues (including investigation, disciplinary, and grievance); being the main HR point of contact for managers, employees, and leaders; administering the entire employee lifecycle process, including recruitment and training; reviewing and updating company policies, maintaining employee records, and working with people data to make informed decisions. The duties are broad and will evolve as the people function develops, so this is a great opportunity to help shape a HR department in a growing company. You would be supporting the Head of HR in implementation of the people strategy, and you will be involved in employee engagement activity, making Mawdsleys a better place to work. As the role evolves, there are opportunities to progress, so we are looking for somebody with the potential and willingness to grow, develop and progress within the company. The role is based at our Head Office in Salford (with options for home working), but will require travel to our other UK locations in the group, so the successful applicant should be able to drive.

Applicants should have at least 3 years experience in a HR Adviser position, be CIPD qualified (Level 5), have proven experience of UK employment law and best practice, be able to operate independently and without supervision, showing initiative and willingness to develop themselves.
