People & Culture Coordinator

The Hoxton, Edinburgh

We can’t wait to open our first UK hotel outside of London…and where better than the characterful capital of Scotland, Edinburgh. We are now looking for a People & Culture Coordinator to join our team and play a crucial part in successfully launching our brand in this new neighbourhood. Reporting to the People & Culture Manager, you’ll be responsible for supporting the daily people operations and you’ll gain HR experience in a fast-paced company, supporting people from a variety of backgrounds. Our people team are a creative and ambitious bunch, and you’ll get to work on projects and initiatives all across the employee journey.

The Hox in Edinburgh will boast 214 bedrooms influenced by the Georgian heritage of the building and city (including the introduction of a new room category for the Hox), a main restaurant and big lobby & bar, a large event space 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.
• 29 days holiday (including bank holidays), pension and life insurance.
• 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.
• 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…

• You will be the first point of contact for our teams when it comes to general questions and requests, fulfilling a key support role within the people team.
• Manage the administration of all core touch points throughout the employee journey.
• Manage and maintain our holy grail, the people tracker.
• Work with the team on managing our various people platforms.
• Support with running various reports from holiday accruals to headcount.
• Support the team with recruitment needs, CV pre-screening and telephone screening.
• Support talent attraction from advertising on The Hoxton website and local recruitment job boards and keeping our recruitment system up to date.
• Play a big part in making sure our newbies have a great joining experience; from arranging their starter paperwork to setting up their tech, helping out with our group inductions and checking they’re settling in well.
• Support with related activities such as room set ups, training coordination and bot/poster creation.
• Fun-time Friday, get togethers? That’s your domain. You arrange the regular events that everyone looks forward to.
• Get involved in the team activities.

What we’re looking for…

• 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.
• Previous experience in a human resources role would be fantastic, if you’re already HR qualified or working towards it all the better.
• You naturally want to help and support the people around you; others have most likely described you as a ‘people person’ and you’re great at building relationships.
• Keen to learn and pick up new things – you have ambitions to progress in the world of HR.
• Comfortable with systems/platforms and great with the Microsoft Office Suite.
• You enjoy organisation and ensuring that everything is in the right place.
• You are scarily organised, eagle eye for detail, have the ability to multi-task and spin a million plates in the air at one time, prioritise and re-prioritise as things come in.
