3 months Fixed Contract

Location: Manchester | Hybrid with 3 days onsite
Salary: £45,000 per annum
Contract: 3-month Fixed Term Contract
Start: ASAP
Are you an experienced HR Advisor with a strong recruitment background, available for an immediate start and looking for a varied, hands-on contract opportunity?
We’re working with a growing technical business in Manchester that’s looking for a proactive and organised HR professional to join its team on an initial 3-month fixed-term contract.
Recruitment will be a large focus of this role, with a busy pipeline of vacancies to manage across a range of business functions, alongside providing generalist HR support to managers and employees.
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys getting stuck in, can quickly build relationships with hiring managers and is confident managing recruitment processes from start to finish.
What you’ll be doing
*Taking ownership of a recruitment for the business, managing approximately 8 live vacancies at one time
*Managing the end-to-end recruitment process, from briefing hiring managers and advertising vacancies through to screening applications, coordinating interviews and supporting offers.
*Providing generalist HR advice and support to managers and employees on day-to-day people matters.
*Supporting employee relations casework, particularly around performance management, with additional support available from the wider HR team.
*Working collaboratively with HR colleagues to ensure a consistent and responsive HR service.
What we’re looking for
*Previous experience in a generalist HR Advisor role with hands-on recruitment experience, or a strong in-house recruitment background with exposure to broader HR activities.
*Confidence managing multiple vacancies simultaneously, ideally across a variety of functions and levels.
*Good working knowledge of HR processes and employee relations, particularly performance management, would be advantageous.
*A proactive, practical approach with the confidence to take ownership, use initiative and suggest improvements.
*Someone adaptable, approachable and happy to roll up their sleeves in a busy, growing business.
You don’t need experience within the technical sector, but you will need to be comfortable stepping into a new environment and making an immediate impact.
What’s on offer?
You’ll be joining a supportive HR team within a business experiencing growth and change, where your recruitment expertise will make a real difference.
The role offers variety, autonomy and the opportunity to contribute beyond recruitment, while working alongside experienced HR colleagues.
This is an urgent requirement, with interviews taking place as soon as possible and an ideal start date before the end of November.
If you’re immediately available or available at short notice, have strong recruitment experience and would enjoy a hands-on HR contract, I’d love to hear from you!
