About The Role
We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced HR Advisor to join our People & Development Team. We're looking for someone who is naturally curious, proactive, and enjoys building trusted relationships across the business.
Working closely with managers and leaders across our hotels and Central Services teams, you'll provide practical people advice, support positive employee experiences, and help drive consistent, fair people decisions. You'll bring strong employee relations expertise, sound judgement, and the confidence to challenge constructively, while using data and insight to strengthen management capability and support our values-driven culture.

As an HR Advisor, you will provide expert people advice and guidance across our hotels, Central Services teams, and Little Bill & Impress Laundry. Working closely with managers and leaders, you'll help create a positive employee experience while ensuring people matters are handled fairly, consistently, and in line with employment legislation.
- Managing a varied employee relations caseload, including disciplinary, grievance, absence, performance, capability, and workplace conduct matters.
- Providing clear, practical, and commercially focused advice to managers on a wide range of people matters.
- Supporting investigations, hearings, and appeals, ensuring processes are fair, compliant, and well managed.
- Coaching managers to build confidence in handling employee relations issues effectively and consistently.
- Promoting early and informal resolutions to workplace concerns wherever appropriate.
- Reviewing policies, procedures, and guidance, while supporting compliance with employment law and best practice.
- Analysing employee relations data and trends to identify risks, opportunities, and areas for improvement.
- Building trusted relationships with managers and leaders across the business, providing insight and support on people priorities.
- Supporting organisational change, consultation activities, and wider People & Development initiatives.
- Championing a culture of respect, inclusion, accountability, and open communication across the organisation.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You'll also contribute ideas and initiatives that enhance the employee experience, strengthen management capability, and support Imperial London Hotels in becoming an employer of choice.
What We're Looking For
- Experienced HR Advisor, Employee Relations Advisor, or Employee Relations specialist.
- Genuine passion for employee relations and confidence managing complex people cases.
- Naturally curious, with the ability to identify root causes rather than simply treating symptoms.
- Proactive in addressing concerns before they develop into formal issues.
- Able to balance empathy with accountability and sound commercial judgement.
- Confident building trust and credibility with managers in fast-paced operational environments.
- Comfortable challenging decisions constructively where they are inconsistent, unsupported, or do not align with our values.
- Calm, objective, and professional when handling sensitive, complex, or contentious situations.
- Enjoys being visible in the business and building strong relationships with managers and team members.
- Committed to improving processes, management capability, and the overall employee experience.
