We are the fastest growing beauty brand in Europe with 40+ salons globally, and we are driven by a passionate and disruptive team to achieve our mission. We’ve brought together a world-class team from a wide range of industries. As we continue to expand, we need brilliant people (like you!) to help bring the Townhouse brand to life across the world.

Our values

Here at Townhouse, we live by our three core values;

• Details matter
• Passionate in everything we do
• Nice people

Townhouse was born out of the idea that ‘details matter’ - our customers strive for perfection in the details, and so do we. Our passion fuels our work and drives constant innovation. Finally, we pride ourselves on finding nice, kind-hearted people to join our mission to revolutionise the industry.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We’re looking for a proactive, curious and detail-driven People Advisor to join our growing People team at Townhouse. This is a hands‑on role where you’ll support our People operations across both Support Centre and salons, helping ensure our systems, processes and employee experience continue to evolve as we scale globally.

Reporting into the Head of People, this role offers real development opportunity. You’ll build your advisory capability, strengthen your commercial understanding and take ownership across a broad range of People activities.

• Own and maintain People data and reporting through Employment Hero, using insights to identify trends and support decision making.
• Partner with salon and Support Centre leaders to build people capability and drive consistency across the business.
• Identify and implement improvements to People systems, processes and projects to enhance efficiency and employee experience.
• Support wider People initiatives and contribute to reporting and projects that enable business growth, including franchise support and leadership reporting.
