Job description

TALENT ACQUISITION MANAGER

IN-HOUSE. HOSPITALITY-ROOTED. REAL IMPACT ROLE

***Hospitality experience is essential***

What’s in it for you?

• £38,000 – £40,000 (depending on experience)
• A true greenfield role, this isn’t maintenance, it’s creation. You’re building the TA function properly from the ground up, with full backing from the HR Director.
• 12-month FTC with a genuine intention to go permanent if you deliver impact!
• 33 days holiday, flexible bank holidays - take them when it works for you, or bank them.
• Health Shield cash plan
• Stream access
• Discounts across stays, food & beverage across the estate
• Standard pension, enhanced family leave, life assurance

Who are they...

A long-established, independently owned hospitality business with real heritage and a proper focus on doing things well. Well run, operationally sharp, and people-first in practice, not just in words. You’ll sit in a 10-person People team, reporting into the Talent & Development Partner, with real scope to shape how recruitment is done! Culture is grounded, honest, and straight-talking with a bit of humour.

What you’ll actually be doing…

This is for someone who wants to build something that works.

• Take ownership of hard-to-fill roles end-to-end (supervisor level and above) stepping in personally when things stall, not just reporting on pipelines
• Run the day-to-day reality of sponsorship and job board spend, shifting budget quickly to what’s actually delivering results
• Cut agency reliance through proper proactive sourcing, smart outreach, and building real passive talent pipelines that actually convert
• Turn the internal talent bank into something alive and usable, not a forgotten spreadsheet
• Partner closely with People and Operations teams to understand pressure points and fix hiring problems at the root, not just highlight them
• Support early careers hiring (apprenticeships and grads) alongside the Talent & Development Partner
• Track what’s working, sourcing channels, campaigns, agencies and change direction fast when it isn’t
• Help shape employer brand and candidate experience across every site, not just centrally
• Coach and upskill hiring managers so they can hire well without over-reliance on TA

If you want a role where you inherit a system, this isn’t it. If you want to build one properly - this is.
