HR Manager – Premium New Restaurant Opening
Central London
£60,000 - £65,000

An exciting new restaurant opening this Autumn – and a key hire to help bring it to life.

Already a global name, this is their first UK site, and they’re looking for a strong, hands-on HR Manager to lead all people operations from the ground up.

This role covers recruitment, onboarding, systems, compliance, training, and everything in between. You’ll be supporting the leadership team through pre-opening and then taking full ownership of HR day to day. There’s already one HR Officer in place – and scope to bring in a second hire to support you once things are up and running.

You’ll be based on-site in London, with flexibility around working hours/hybrid working – and potential to grow with the brand as they expand.

What you’ll be doing:

Leading all HR operations and ensuring full compliance from day one
Managing headcount and labour budgets
Overseeing recruitment, onboarding, and induction
Driving engagement, welfare, and staff culture
Supporting managers with ER, performance reviews and development plans
Implementing HR systems and rolling out tech across the business
Supporting the wider group HR team on UK-specific projects

What they’re looking for:

A confident, proactive HR operator – ideally with new opening experience
In-depth knowledge of UK employment law and hospitality HR
Someone who’s worked closely with operational teams and knows how to balance compliance with culture
Experience managing a team and leading through change
CIPD Level qualified is essential
A strong working knowledge of Harri is a real plus
