Remote role covering East Anglia, the Midlands, North of England and parts of the South East
Full Time
37.5 hours per week Monday to Friday 8.30am to 5pm
Competitive salary
We are a fourth-generation family business who lead the UK marketplace supplying decorating materials to both trade and retail decorators. We operate over 200 Decorator Centres nationwide and plan to continue evolving and growing our business. In addition, we also have several healthy and growing ecommerce businesses leading the way with the latest trends and fashions in the world of interiors.
Like any organisation it’s our people that make us who we are. We are truly a family business when it comes to our people; our mantra is to ‘help one another succeed’; we want to see everyone flourish in their roles and reach their full potential and support our customers in developing their own businesses. This desire to help our people succeed is at the very heart of this new role.
What is the role we are looking for?
We are looking for an experienced HR colleague to provide vital hands-on support to the People Team and Operational Managers across the business on a variety of HR matters. These will include but not be limited to employment relations processes such as attendance management, probation, grievance, disciplinary, ill health and performance capability. Internally this role is known as a People Advisor.
Working alongside another People Advisor you will support the Senior People Business Partner and the wider team with active cases across our branch network. You will also work closely with Operational Managers and their teams across the business, to provide an all round HR support on a range of matters as they arise.
The support you will offer will include attending meetings in an advisory capacity or by note taking, preparing and producing correspondence and tailoring it to individual situations, giving advice to colleagues on a variety of policies and supporting them with these processes including Occupational Health matters and working with the team to compile and produce reports and analytics on HR topics.
You will be able to communicate effectively at all levels and always maintain a people centred approach that is empathetic to the colleagues involved in any HR processes. You will use a wide range of HR knowledge, commercial acumen, and empathy towards colleagues to quickly establish your knowledge and credibility in this role. You will be confident in influencing and advising stakeholders at varying levels.
We are looking for someone based local to the area the role covers to enable us to provide support to colleagues in person as well as remotely via Teams, however you may be asked to attend other locations and branches when needed. This is a remote role covering branches throughout East Anglia, the Midlands, North of England and parts of the South East (Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, Northamptonshire). You will be required to support with meetings on location, so it is essential that you are able to drive – a Company car is included. On occasions there may also be overnight stays.
The successful candidate will have previous experience and a strong background in an HR Advisory role. You will preferably have experience working in a retail environment, but this is not essential.
We understand that Neurodivergent candidates or candidates with a disability may need adjustments or extra support in the application or interview process – we are committed to providing every candidate the opportunity and environment in which to succeed and we will support any reasonable request where we can.
What do we give in return?
We think we have an amazing culture of looking out for each other and helping one another succeed. It’s a culture that has stood us well for 120 years!
Some of the benefits we offer include:

Competitive financial package and a Company car
31 days holiday (inclusive of bank holidays)
