Help shape the experience of the people behind one of the world’s most iconic brands.
At Aston Martin, it’s not just about the cars we create, it’s about the people who bring them to life. Every individual plays a part in our story, and our Employee Relations team sits right at the heart of that experience, ensuring every colleague feels supported, heard, and treated fairly.
We’re looking for an Employee Relations Advisor to join us on a 12-month parental leave cover, someone who thrives in a fast-paced, hands-on environment and is passionate about making a real impact on people’s day-to-day working lives. Reporting into the Employee Relations Manager, you’ll play a key role in shaping consistent, people-focused practices across the business.
This is a role where no two days are the same. One moment you’ll be partnering with managers to navigate complex ER cases; the next, you’ll be coaching leaders, contributing to policy development, or using data to spot trends and influence better decision-making. You’ll be trusted to bring both expertise and empathy, balancing commercial awareness with a genuine care for people.
You’ll act as a go-to partner for managers and employees alike, providing clear, pragmatic advice across a full range of employee relations matters, from investigations and disciplinaries to grievances and performance conversations. Alongside this, you’ll help build manager capability, ensuring they feel confident and supported when handling people matters themselves.
You’ll also have the opportunity to get involved in wider ER projects, policy development, and training initiatives, while working closely with HR colleagues, legal teams, Trade Unions, and stakeholders across the business to deliver a consistent and high-quality employee experience.
We’re looking for someone who already has a solid foundation in employee relations, whether from an HR Advisor or ER Advisor background, who is confident managing cases end-to-end and comfortable navigating employment law and best practice. Strong communication and relationship-building skills are essential, as is the ability to stay organised, handle sensitive situations with discretion, and keep things moving at pace.
An interest in data and analytics will also set you apart, as you’ll use insight to support reporting and help shape future improvements. CIPD Level 3 (or working towards) is desirable, and experience within a manufacturing or operational environment would be an advantage.
This is a hybrid role, with a minimum of three days onsite per week in Gaydon. Flexibility around working hours is important to support different sites and business needs, and occasional travel across Aston Martin locations will be required, so a full UK driving licence is essential.
If you’re looking for a role where you can make a genuine difference, build strong relationships, and be part of a team that truly values people, we’d love to hear from you.
Please note: This is a 12-month fixed-term contract.
