We're looking for an experienced People Partner to join Pophams and lead our People approach as we enter our next stage of growth.
This is our most senior People role and a brilliant opportunity for someone who loves hospitality, loves people, and wants to make a real impact. With around 100 people today and exciting growth ahead, you'll shape how we recruit, develop, engage and support our teams whilst staying close to day-to-day life in our sites.
This isn't a corporate, desk-based HR role. We want someone who understands hospitality, enjoys being where the action is, and is just as happy coaching a manager over a coffee as they are building a new training programme or shaping our longer-term People strategy.
Benefits:
- Mental Health Policy
- 50% discount for staff, friends & family
- Free freshly cooked staff meals and half hour paid break (including tea and coffee on shift)
- Bike to work scheme
- Training & career progression opportunities
- Company Maternity and Paternity Pay
- Company Sick Pay
- Length of Service Rewards for every year of service
