The county of Cheshire is located in the north west of England, and its proximity to Greater Manchester and North Wales gives it huge strategic importance to businesses of all kinds.
Cheshire is home to one of the most diverse and vibrant economies in England. Large manufacturing plants such as Vauxhall's at Ellesmere Port are in stark contrast to the county's retail and luxury goods sector. The area is also home to salt processing companies, chemical firms and BAE systems - the arms manufacturer. These large companies employ thousands of people, so they require trained HR professionals to perform administration, legal duties and recruitment. The local recruitment agencies in the area are looking for candidates for companies as varied as General Motors and Bentley Cars in the town of Crewe.
Staff roles in the Cheshire HR sector include those for HR advisors, HR administrators, managers, recruitment specialists and training officers. Candidates will, however, need to be in possession of extensive experience, exceptional communication skills and the very best professional qualifications, as candidates from Liverpool and Manchester are often competing for employment in this highly competitive market.
Salaries in the county range from around £18,000 for graduate HR professionals to £50,000 and beyond for experienced HR managers and directors.
