HR Advisor

HR Advisor- £34,000 per annum

Cardiff City Centre - Hybrid
Permanent, Full-time (9am -5:30pm)

Yolk Recruitment is working exclusively with a leading insurance company that's been on an exciting growth journey. The business is people-focused and values open communication, collaboration, and flexibility in the way they work.
We're looking for an experienced HR Advisor to join a friendly, down-to-earth HR team. You'll be based in Cardiff but will work closely with colleagues across other locations so some travel (around once a month) will be required.

This is a standalone and hands-on role in Cardiff, supporting managers and employees with a wide range of HR matters. You'll need strong ER experience and the confidence to handle a busy, fast-paced environment where no two days are the same.

It's a reactive, people-centred role that will suit someone who enjoys variety, problem-solving, and working closely with the business to deliver pragmatic HR support.

What will the role involve:

• Provide day-to-day advice and support on all HR matters, including employee relations, absence management, and performance issues.
• Work closely with managers across the business, guiding them through HR processes and ensuring consistency and fairness.
• Build strong relationships across the Cardiff site, acting as a trusted point of contact for employees.
• Collaborate with the wider HR team to deliver a consistent HR approach.
• Support with HR projects and initiatives linked to growth, engagement, and business change.
• Assist with recruitment activity
• Maintain accurate employee records and ensure compliance with employment law and company policies.

What experience you'll need

• 3-5 years' experience in a fast-paced HR Advisor role
• Solid employee relations experience, confident managing complex, and sensitive cases.
• Comfortable working in a standalone capacity while collaborating with remote HR colleagues.
• Personable, approachable, and resilient - able to build trust and credibility quickly.
• Confident communicator who can challenge and influence where needed.
• CIPD Level 5 (or equivalent experience) would be an advantage.

Additional Information

• Hybrid working: 3 days office / 2 days home (after initial 2-3 months in the office full-time).
• Cardiff city centre office
