Job description

Are you passionate about people? We’re looking for someone special to join our Langdale team as our HR Administrator on a part‑time basis (around 3 days per week).

Langdale Chase Hotel, which sits on the banks of beautiful Lake Windermere, recently underwent a full and significant refurbishment and reopened its doors in November 2023. In that time the hotel has achieved 5 Star Status from the AA and been recognised in the prestigious Times Top 100 Places to Stay, ranked No. 3 North of England Hotel of the Year and part of the AA Group of the Year 2025.

Your day to day

• Administration of all recruitment activities including advertising vacancies, supporting managers with sifting and review of candidates, note‑taking at interviews and undertaking right‑to‑work and reference checks.
• Organising and running the property’s induction process, working alongside managers to create induction plans, ensuring online mandatory training is completed, and coordinating the completion of probation reviews.
• Ensuring that payroll administration is completed accurately using a dedicated payroll system, managing the gratuities process and supporting the General Manager with payroll forecasts.
• Collating a weekly report for the General Manager highlighting key people metrics (starters, leavers, absence, open roles, etc.) and supporting the absence management process.
• Co‑ordinating the Company’s performance review process and training programme, linking in with the central People Team where necessary.
• Undertaking all people‑related admin tasks, including updating People systems, drafting letters, note‑taking, completing reference requests and resignation acknowledgements.
• Supporting coordination and active involvement in engagement initiatives across the property.
• Supporting disciplinary, grievance and performance‑related cases.
• Supporting the management of the staff house.

What you’ll bring

• Strong admin skills and a keen eye for detail.

• Ideally you’ll have a Level 3 HR qualification or equivalent experience (and if not, we’ll support you to get there).
• Experience in hospitality or a similar service‑led environment is a bonus.

This role is part‑time, 3 days per week or equivalent. We’re happy to chat about how this can fit around your personal commitments.
