People & Culture Coordinator

We’re looking for a People & Culture Coordinator to join us at The Hoxton. Reporting to our Head of People & Culture you will be working at our two Amsterdam hotels The Hoxton, Amsterdam and The Hoxton, Lloyd Amsterdam.

Once the Mayor’s home, now our home, on Amsterdam’s Herengracht canal. The Hoxton, Amsterdam houses 111 rooms, The Apartment, our meetings & events concept, and our all-day restaurant & bar, Lotti’s.

A city so good we had to double down! In 2023 we have opened our second Hoxton in Amsterdam, this time based in the Eastern Docklands where we are lovingly taking the reins of the historic former Lloyd Hotel. This beautiful property features 136 bedrooms, including the introduction of some new rooms categories for the Hox, a large ground floor restaurant and huge outdoor terrace, a new bar and The Apartment – our unique meetings and events concept.

More about us…

The Hoxton is a series of open-house hotels, each in a neighbourhood that we love. Ever since we opened our first hotel in Shoreditch, we’ve never just been about offering a bed for the night. We want to be more than that: proving style doesn’t need to be sacrificed for good value and providing a place where guests can hang out alongside the locals and submerse themselves in the neighbourhood with vibrant, welcoming public spaces.

What’s in it for you… 

• Become part of a team that’s very passionate about creating great hospitality experiences.
• Competitive salary.
• 25 days holiday (plus bank holidays) and pension.
• Food on us during your shift.
• Enjoy a free night at The Hoxton and a meal for two when you first start with us.
• Training to get you settled into your role with ongoing development that helps you think, make and thrive to set you up for success at work.
• Time off to volunteer with one of our partner charities.
• Hox Hero and Nifty fifty, our rewards for going the extra mile and living our values.
• An annual diversity and inclusion calendar of events creating opportunities for you to learn, celebrate and make a positive impact.
• Regular team get togethers, from our High Fives to our (pretty special!) team parties – we know how to have a good time!
• The chance to challenge the norm and work in an environment that is both creative and rewarding.
• It’s ok not to be ok, we offer access to OpenUp, a trusted platform for professional support and a network of mental health first aiders.
• Join an innovative, fast-growing, international group that is shaking things up on the hospitality scene.
• Excellent discounts across The Hoxton and the global Ennismore family.

   

What you’ll do…

Recruitment, Selection & Onboarding:

• Support the team with recruitment needs, such as managing the advertising process of new roles externally and internally, CV sifting and telephone screening.
• Prepare offer letters and contracts and monitor expiration dates of temporary contracts.
• Prepare onboarding plans for new starts and create new system access forms.
• Support with People Inductions for all new employees.

Talent Management & Employee Relations: 

• Run monthly reports to ensure that 30 day and annual reviews are taking place.
• Support with quarterly L&D calendar.
• Act as the first point of the contact for all People queries.
• Coordinate engagement surveys.
• Get involved in Hox Squad and organise monthly get togethers.

Admin:

• Manage the annual legal audit of files.
• Support with hour registration and payroll process.
• Keep abreast of all Employment legislation in the Netherlands.
• All relevant systems to be updated regularly, i.e. trackers, HR system & Review system.

What we're looking for...

• It's all about attitude for us, someone who enjoys being helpful to others; that person who makes you feel confident they can answer any question and who you'd want to stop and chat to.
• Previous HR experience is great, but it's not a must-have for us - if you're eager to learn we can teach you what you need to know.
• You love people. It is a role in our People function after all.
• You execute. You can make the ideas a reality in the business, delivering on time and on budget.
• Individuals. You’re looking for a place where you can be you; no clones in suits here.
• Passion for hospitality – whether that’s a drink, a meal, an event or a bed for the night.
• You’re all about having a positive impact on the people you interact with, leaving them with a memorable experience.
• You’re not precious. We leave our egos at the door and help get things done.
• You’re up for doing things differently and trying (almost) everything once.
• If we got stuck in a lift together we’d have a good time and share a few laughs.
• You want to be part of a team that works hard, supports each other and has fun along the way.
