An excellent opportunity to lead the HR function within a successful, high-quality hotel.

We are recruiting for an experienced and commercially minded Human Resources Manager to join a well-established hotel with a reputation for delivering exceptional hospitality.

Employing approximately 250 people across a diverse range of departments, the hotel requires a confident, hands-on HR professional who can lead an established team of four whilst supporting the senior management team in delivering a positive, engaging and high-performing working environment.

The Role

As Human Resources Manager, you will take responsibility for the day-to-day management and strategic development of the hotel's HR function, ensuring that people remain at the heart of the business.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Leading, coaching and developing a team of four HR professionals.
• Providing expert HR advice and support to the General Manager and departmental heads.
• Managing employee relations, including disciplinary, grievance, performance and absence management.
• Driving recruitment, retention and succession planning across the hotel.
• Developing employee engagement initiatives and promoting a positive workplace culture.
• Overseeing training, learning and development programmes.
• Ensuring compliance with employment legislation, HR policies and best practice.
• Supporting workforce planning, payroll administration and HR reporting.
• Working closely with senior management to improve staff retention, productivity and overall employee satisfaction.

The Candidate

Our client is looking for an experienced Human Resources Manager who combines strong technical HR knowledge with excellent interpersonal and leadership skills.

You will ideally offer:

• Previous HR management experience within hotels, hospitality or another people-intensive service environment.
• Experience managing and developing an HR team.
• A proven track record of supporting a sizeable workforce, ideally 200+ employees.
• Strong knowledge of UK employment legislation and employee relations.
• Experience of recruitment, retention, training and employee engagement.

The Opportunity
