A senior HR leadership role within a growing, multi-site hospitality and wellness business.

This is a pivotal appointment at group level, supporting a shift from a single-site operation into a scaled, multi-property platform backed by significant investment and an active acquisition pipeline.

• Drive a clear and consistent culture agenda, embedding values across multiple sites while allowing for operational nuance
• Support ongoing and future acquisitions, including integration, restructuring, and workforce planning
• Build scalable people processes, ensuring they are aligned but not overly corporate or restrictive to individual site needs
• Lead on organisational design, succession planning, and leadership development as the group expands
• Provide hands-on support across sites where needed, balancing strategic leadership with operational visibility
• Act as a key advisor to the board on all people-related matters during a period of significant change and growth

The Person:

• Proven HR Director or senior HR leader within premium hospitality, hotels, leisure, or a related multi-site environment
• Experience operating at group level, ideally through periods of growth, acquisition, or transformation
• Strong strategic capability, with the ability to translate vision into practical, scalable people solutions
• Credible operator who can lead from the front and build relationships across both head office and site teams
• Experience shaping and embedding culture and values within a growing business
• Commercially aware, with a clear understanding of how people strategy drives performance
• Experience within premium or high-quality environments is advantageous
• Resilient, pragmatic, and able to operate effectively in a fast-moving, evolving business
