Never a dull moment. Huge opportunities to learn. A role for someone who gets stuck in.

Harbour Hotels is looking for a proactive, detail-driven People Coordinator to join our busy People Team. This is a hands-on, fast-paced role where no two days are the same, ideal for someone who isn’t afraid of hard work, loves variety, and wants to build strong generalist HR skills at pace.

You’ll be involved in the full employee lifecycle, working closely with our Head of People and Regional People Partner to support HR operations across our hotel group. If you’re a strong communicator with great systems capability and a real eye for detail, this could be the perfect next step in your HR career.

• Supporting the development and maintenance of our HR & Payroll systems (Harri, Fourth, and The Dock).
• Getting stuck into a major systems improvement project during your first 6–12 months.
• Ensuring employee data is accurate, compliant, and meticulously maintained.
• Assisting with policy updates and ensuring new legislation is implemented on time.
• Conducting monthly right-to-work and national insurance checks.
• Helping coordinate recruitment campaigns, HR events, and wider People initiatives.
• Providing high-quality administrative and operational support across the entire People function.

• Experience in an HR administration or coordination role is ideal.
• A strong graduate with internship experience would be considered.
• Experience in hospitality, retail, manufacturing, or a fast-paced, multi-site environment.
• Excellent communication and listening skills, you’re approachable, clear and confident.
• Strong attention to detail and pride in producing high-quality work.
• Brilliant organisation and the ability to juggle multiple priorities.
• Strong systems capability, quick to learn cloud-based HR platforms.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office, especially Excel, Word and Outlook.
• CIPD Level 3 (or working towards it) is a plus, but not essential.

• You roll up your sleeves and get involved, no job is too big or too small.
• You’re accountable, reliable and take ownership.
• You’re curious, eager to learn, and open to new systems and processes.
• You thrive in a busy environment and enjoy working with people at all levels.
• You’re discreet, professional and always maintain confidentiality.

This is a fantastic opportunity to develop as an HR generalist, gain exposure to a wide range of People processes, and work in a collaborative, dynamic team where you’ll learn fast and make a real impact.

If you're ready for a role where you’ll grow, stretch, and be part of an exciting journey, we’d love to hear from you.
