HR Advisor- 35,000
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 occasional travel (around once a month) may be required.
This is a standalone, hands-on role supporting managers and employees with a wide range of HR matters. You'll need strong employee relations experience and the confidence to handle a busy, fast-paced environment where no two days are the same.
What the role involves:
Act as the first point of contact for day-to-day HR matters, providing guidance and support to managers and employees.
Support employee relations, absence management, performance issues, and other sensitive cases.
Work closely with managers to guide them through HR processes, ensuring consistency, fairness, and legal compliance.
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 recruitment activity, including pre-screening, interview coordination, and salary benchmarking.
Contribute to HR projects and initiatives linked to growth, engagement, and organisational change.
Maintain accurate employee records and ensure compliance with legislation and company policies.
Deliver training and coaching to managers on HR processes where required.
Assist with onboarding, employee engagement initiatives, and payroll processes as needed.
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.
