{ “@context”: “http://schema.org”, “@type”: “JobPosting”, “title”: “Head of Human Resources”, “description”: “

Head of HR


STRATEGIC. HANDS-ON. TRANSFORMATION-READY. PEOPLE-FIRST.


What's in it for you…

  • Salary up to £70,000
  • 33 days holiday
  • Private medical insurance
  • Workplace pension scheme
  • Employee assistance programme
  • Ongoing training and career development opportunities
  • Employee discounts across all venues
  • The opportunity to be part of an exciting and growing business


Who are they?

A growing, multi-site leisure and entertainment business, the kind of brand that puts experience at the heart of everything. Fast-paced, people-driven. This is a business where the People function is expected to be commercial, pragmatic and hands-on. There’s real momentum here, and the opportunity to shape a function from the ground up doesn’t come around often.


The role…

You’ll step in and build a fit-for-purpose people function from the ground up, leading on complex ER, legislative compliance and organisational design, all while keeping the day-to-day running smoothly. This isn’t a role for someone who wants to sit behind a policy manual. This is for someone who thrives in ambiguity, earns trust fast and knows what great HR looks like in a consumer-facing, multi-site environment.


What You'll Do

  • You’ll report to the People Director
  • You’ll lead an established people team
  • Lead and develop the HR function across the full business
  • Own complex employee relations and case management end to end
  • Ensure compliance with UK employment law and upcoming legislative changes
  • Partner closely with senior stakeholders across operations and leadership
  • Drive acquisition integration and support organisational design
  • Build and implement scalable HR processes, policies and frameworks
  • Coach and guide managers on all people-related matters
  • Oversee and collaborate with L&D as the function develops


Who You Are

  • Proven senior HR leadership experience, Head of HR or Senior HRBP level
  • Strong operational HR capability, not just strategic thinking
  • Comfortable in fast-moving environments
  • Experience in multi-site, hospitality or consumer-facing businesses preferred
  • Strong ER and employment law expertise
  • Credible, pragmatic and able to influence at all levels
  • Ideally experienced through transformation, mergers and acquisitions, or high-growth phases


The best people aren't looking. But you might be.
