Your role

As our Human Resources Coordinator you will become part of a dedicated team providing a specialist HR Service to around 400 employees. Your passion to provide personalised colleague experiences, with detailed HR knowledge and confidence, is both assertive yet sincere. Your “voice with a smile” and commitment to anticipation, to deal with our colleagues in a professional and responsive manner, in keeping with the Café Royal’s history and hallmarks of exceptional quality and style.

You will become our colleague’s very first point of contact within the HR team both in personal and on the telephone so you’ll need to be sociable, confident and friendly. You’ll provide a range of administration support to our HR team across all areas including Recruitment and Advertising; Colleague Correspondence such as employment offers; Management of HR Data systems including the updating of colleague records on Fourth HR and the creation of HR files; Benefit administration and collation of HR payroll information; Updating and management of our Colleague Communication systems and the coordination of Social activities. This role is of course a lot more varied and there will be a number of other areas including various HR projects that you will have the opportunity to help with.

Most importantly your superior communication skills will allow you to connect and engage with our team across all levels of the business on a day to day basis, yet your integrity and discretion will be your defining quality as you will become guardian to a host of confidential and at times sensitive colleague information on behalf of the Company. 

Your Profile

While this is an entry level role you will have ideally gained some basic HR experience either through an internship placement or as an Administrator within a HR or similar department. You will of course ideally have some operational experience or knowledge of the Hospitality Industry and may be working within an operational or supervisory role in a Luxury Hotel, Restaurant or Club environment. Either way you will be able to demonstrate your passion for HR through higher or further education study and may have already completed or have commenced or looking to start your CIPD qualifications.

Your administration skills will need to be exceptional and you will need to have a minimum of intermediate level knowledge on all Microsoft packages, candidates who have also previously used Fourth Hospitality or ADP Freedom are of particular interest. So whatever your background or passion, if you have an engaging personality, discretion and above all are looking to start your career in HR we'd love to hear from you.
