Build an end-to-end recruitment engine covering attraction, selection and onboarding with a particular focus on making better hiring decisions and ensuring great people stay
Bring HR and Operations together under one clear, practical framework
Take ownership of workforce planning and manage salary costs carefully as the organisation grows

Build the processes, standards and accountability needed to create a consistent employee experience across the business

You will be someone who combines People expertise with an operator's mindset
Strong experience in hospitality, leisure and lifestyle services
You understand recruitment, talent and HR but you're equally comfortable talking about performance, processes, costs, facilities and what is actually happening on the ground
