From St. James’s to Wood Wharf, the Fallow Group is at the forefront of sustainable gastronomy, offering creative, ingredient-led dining experiences unlike any other.

We are looking for a visionary and accomplished Group Head of Human Resources and People to lead and shape the culture, talent strategy, and people operations across our dynamic hospitality group, home to Fallow, Roe, and Fowl.
As a strategic partner to the executive team, you will define and drive a progressive people vision—fostering innovation, inclusion, and excellence across all our venues.

• Champion diversity, equity, and inclusion, embedding best practices into recruitment, development, and organisational culture.
• Drive talent development initiatives, including learning and development, succession planning, and performance management frameworks.
• Oversee all aspects of HR operations, from recruitment and onboarding to compliance, compensation, and employee relations—ensuring consistency, excellence, and legal compliance across all locations.
• Act as a trusted advisor to senior leadership on organisational design, workforce planning, and change management.
• Represent the people function externally and internally—elevating our employer brand and shaping partnerships that enhance our people-first mission.

About You:

• You are a strategic, forward-thinking HR leader with a proven track record in multi-site or fast-paced hospitality sector.
• You bring depth and credibility across the full HR spectrum, from cultural stewardship and organisational design to operational HR and legal compliance.
• You are a natural leader and relationship builder—someone who inspires trust, drives engagement, and builds cohesive, high-performing teams.
• Passionate about creating inclusive, equitable workplaces where people feel valued, empowered, and supported to grow.
• Comfortable working at both strategic and operational levels, with the agility to adapt in a growing, ever-evolving business.
• You are data-informed and people-centric, with strong instincts for organisational health and long-term talent planning.

The benefits:

• Competitive salary.
• Career progression.
• Continuous Learning and Development programme including external opportunities such as WSET and Leadership courses.
• Wellbeing initiatives.
• Reward and recognition schemes.
• Free welcome lunch for you and a guest.
• 50% restaurant discounts across the group.
• 25% Friends and Family discounts.
• 50% discount on company retail.
• Supplier trips, staff parties and team socials.
• Staff meal during your shift.
• Increased holiday entitlement after three years employment.
• Enhanced parental leave (after one year’s employment).
• Sabbaticals (after three years employment).
