Job description

The Hoxton, Poblenou | Avinguda Diagonal, 205, 08018 Barcelona, Spain

The Hoxton is a series of open‑house hotels, each in a neighbourhood that we love. Ever since we opened our first hotel in Shoreditch, we have never just been about offering a bed for the night. We want to be more than that: proving style doesn’t need to be sacrificed for good value and providing a place where guests can hang out alongside the locals and submerge themselves in the neighbourhood with vibrant, welcoming public spaces.

Reporting to our People & Culture Manager, you will be responsible for supporting the daily people operations for 5‑6 months from September 2026.

What’s in it for you

• Become part of a team that’s very passionate about creating great hospitality experiences.
• Internship allowance of 500€ gross per month.
• Food on us during your shift.
• Enjoy a free night at The Hoxton and a meal for two when you first start with us.
• Training to get you settled into your role with ongoing development that helps you think, make and thrive to set you up for success at work.
• Time off to volunteer with one of our partner charities.
• Hox Hero our reward for going the extra mile and living our values.
• An annual diversity and inclusion calendar of events creating opportunities for you to learn, celebrate and make a positive impact.
• Regular team get togethers, from our High Fives to our (pretty special!) team parties – we know how to have a good time!
• The chance to challenge the norm and work in an environment that is both creative and rewarding.
• Join an innovative, fast‑growing, international group that is shaking things up on the hospitality scene.
• Excellent discounts across The Hoxton and the global Ennismore family.
• Regular team get togethers, from our team drinks to our (pretty special!) bi‑annual parties – we know how to have a good time!

What you’ll do

• Support the team with recruitment needs, CV pre‑screening and telephone screening.
• Advertise vacancies on The Hoxton website and local recruitment job boards.
• Organise coffee chats with all new starters.
• Fun‑time Friday, gettogethers? That’s your domain. You arrange the regular events that everyone looks forward to.
• Get involved in the Team activities.
• And yes, there’s some admin… Some training tracking, some scanning, some business card order. But let’s face it, we know you love that!
• Tech? No issue. You know your systems and can set up accounts for the team.

What we’re looking for

• Individuals. You’re looking for a place where you can be you; no clones in suits here.
• Passion for hospitality – whether that’s a drink, a meal, an event or a bed for the night. You’re all about having a positive impact on the people you interact with, leaving them with a memorable experience. You’re not precious. We leave our egos at the door and help get things done. You’re up for doing things differently and trying (almost) everything once.
• If we got stuck in a lift together, we’d have a good time and share a few laughs.
• Currently enrolled in a Bachelor’s Degree or Master’s Degree in Hospitality Management or Human Resources Management.
• Must be fluent in Spanish and English.
• It’s all about attitude for us, someone who enjoys being helpful to others; that person who makes you feel confident they can answer any question and who you’d want to stop and chat to.
• You are scarily organised, have the ability to multi‑task and spin a million plates in the air at one time, prioritise and re‑prioritise as things come in.
• You know how to crack the whip – but make people feel good at the same time.
