A long-established, independently owned hospitality business with real heritage and a proper focus on doing things well. Well run, operationally sharp, and people‑first in practice, not just in words. You'll sit in a 10‑person People team, reporting into the Talent & Development Partner, with real scope to shape how recruitment is done! Culture is grounded, honest, and straight‑talking with a bit of humour.

This is for someone who wants to build something that works.

• Take ownership of hard‑to‑fill roles end‑to‑end (supervisor level and above) stepping in personally when things stall, not just reporting on pipelines
• Run the day‑to‑day reality of sponsorship and job board spend, shifting budget quickly to what's actually delivering results
• Cut agency reliance through proper proactive sourcing, smart outreach, and building real passive talent pipelines that actually convert
• Turn the internal talent bank into something alive and usable, not a forgotten spreadsheet
• Partner closely with People and Operations teams to understand pressure points and fix hiring problems at the root, not just highlight them
• Support early careers hiring (apprenticeships and grads) alongside the Talent & Development Partner
• Track what's working, sourcing channels, campaigns, agencies and change direction fast when it isn't
• Help shape employer brand and candidate experience across every site, not just centrally
• Coach and upskill hiring managers so they can hire well without over‑reliance on TA
