• Structured follow-up at 30, 60 and 90 days.
• Conducting exit interviews and analysing turnover causes.

Coordination & training of Leadership/Operations

• Designing and delivering monthly training for site managers on people management: leadership, conflict resolution, feedback, interviewing and selection technique.
• Regular check-in with the leaders to review issues and people priorities.

HR administration

• Liaising with the gestoria on payroll management and contractual changes
• Coordinating with the occupational health provider: medical check-ups, workstation risk assessments, and fitness-for-work follow-up.
• Handling any administrative matters: sick leaves, Paid Time Off, tracking work-related accidents.
• Responding to employee queries on payroll, contracts, and leave.

Internal communication

• Owning People-related communication channels (digital, on-site noticeboards, town-halls, All-Hands short team briefings).
• Preparing and following up on engagement surveys.

Your profile

• From 5+ years of experience in Human Resources, ideally gained across multiple sites with frontline/operational teams in context like retail chains, hospitality, restaurant groups, or leisure/education.
• A genuinely proactive, hands-on operator
• A real taste for ownership and proactivity. Comfortable taking a topic and running with it end-to-end.
• A real love for being on the ground, not doing HR from behind a desk.
• Solid listening, mediation, and people-development skills.
• Ability to coach and support managers
• Experience or strong interest in active recruitment and building talent pipelines.
• Fluent Spanish with a high level of English. Catalan is a big plus.
• Comfortable travelling between several centres day to day (all reachable by public transport)

What we offer

• The project: well known & recognized brand, growing fast, with a very strong people-first culture and a clear social mission
• Growth path: as the group opens new locations, this role is set up to grow into managing the People & Culture function across the wider structure.
