Looking to Advance Your HR Career? Join Banham Poultry (2018) Limited as an HR Advisor

Attleborough | Full Time/ Part-Time

Are you someone who enjoys working with people, solving problems, and supporting a busy operational environment?

At Banham, we’re looking for an HR Advisor to support our manufacturing and operational teams — someone organised, approachable, and ready to get stuck into the real, day-to-day challenges of HR in a fast-paced business.

This is a great opportunity to build your HR career while making a genuine impact on our people and operations.

What You’ll Be Doing

- This is a hands-on, varied role where no two days are the same. You’ll be:

- Supporting line managers with day-to-day HR queries across production and office teams

- Helping manage employee relations cases, including absence, performance, and conduct

- Ensuring HR processes are followed consistently in a fast-moving environment

- Keeping HR systems, documentation, and records accurate and up to date

- Getting involved in engagement initiatives to improve morale and retention

- Working closely with managers to navigate challenges like shift patterns, attendance, and workforce planning

- Learning how HR supports operational performance in a manufacturing setting

What We’re Looking For

- This role is as much about attitude as experience. You’ll thrive here if you:

- Enjoy building relationships with people at all levels, from shop floor to senior management

- Are organised and able to prioritise in a busy, sometimes reactive environment

- Stay calm and professional when handling sensitive or challenging situations

- Are confident having conversations around performance, absence, and conduct

- Have a proactive, “can-do” mindset and aren’t afraid to roll up your sleeves

- Are curious, eager to learn, and serious about developing a career in HR

- Understand (or are keen to learn) the realities of supporting a shift-based, operational workforce

Why Join Banham?

- Real exposure to HR in a fast-paced manufacturing and operational environment

- The opportunity to deal with genuine, complex people challenges — not just admin

- Support from an experienced HR team who will help you grow

- A chance to influence employee experience, engagement, and retention

- Ongoing development and the opportunity to build a long-term HR career

If you’re looking for a role where you can develop real HR skills, build confidence, and make a difference in a business that relies on its people — we’d love to hear from you.
