Work Schedule:

Onsite – Tewkesbury, GBR

This is a standalone HR Manager role delivering operational HR support to the Industrial Group across the UK, France and Spain. While backed by the UK Shared Service Team and Centres of Excellence, you will own the day‑to‑day HR function independently.

Based on‑site in Tewkesbury, you will play a central role guiding leaders through a major global reorganisation — shaping change initiatives and delivering clear, consistent communication across the business. Join us at a pivotal time: you will enjoy real autonomy, broad international scope, and visible impact across three countries, as a key member of the UK HR team helping shape our culture and drive continuous improvement.

As we celebrate 75 years of success, we’re proud of the people behind it. Our long-serving employees reflect a supportive culture and genuine long-term career opportunities. We invest in people for the future. As a generational company, we build careers that last decades, with a vision to welcome not only you, but future generations of your family.

What You’ll Do

  • Act as first point of contact for all people‑related matters across the full employee lifecycle — onboarding, policy guidance, performance management, employee relations, and exit processes.
  • Advise, coach and support managers at all levels on HR policy, employment legislation, best practice, and employee relations — including disciplinary, grievance, absence management, redundancy and retirement processes.
  • Lead through change — support leaders and teams through global reorganisation, ensuring clear communication and smooth transitions.
  • Partner with HR colleagues in France and Spain, working alongside local HR teams and external advisers to ensure compliance with local employment legislation.
  • Own HR systems (Workday & Autotime) as a super‑user — ensuring data accuracy, approving employee lifecycle events, resolving queries, and supporting technology improvements.
  • Manage absence reporting and Occupational Health provision, liaising with EH&S, managers and employees to support wellbeing, reasonable adjustments, and return‑to‑work outcomes.
  • Deliver management reporting, maintain data integrity, and support audits including BSi, HMRC, Home Office and right‑to‑work compliance.
  • Contribute to wider HR initiatives — including delivery of our People & Culture strategy, follow‑up on Employee Survey actions (September 2026), pay reviews, reward, and recognition.
  • Represent IG Tewkesbury at site and UK HR meetings, ensuring alignment across Commercial Aircraft, Military Aircraft and Industrial Group policies and practices.

  • CIPD Level 5 (or equivalent experience) — desirable
  • 5+ years’ experience as an HR Generalist
  • Strong working knowledge of UK employment law and best practice
  • Proven experience supporting organisational change
  • Confident managing employee relations cases independently
  • Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills — across all levels and international locations
  • Proficient in Microsoft Office and HR systems; confident with data and reporting
  • Discreet, organised, proactive — able to work independently and make sound decisions

Key Competencies

  • Strong organisation and time management — able to prioritise across a diverse workload
  • Absolute confidentiality and professionalism with sensitive information
  • Proactive, solution‑focused approach to problem‑solving
  • Able to build trusted relationships with colleagues, managers and stakeholders across borders
  • Confident with HR technology and continuous process improvement
