• Develop and improve team reporting so it stays relevant as the business changes.
• Support the recruitment process, helping Heads of Department set up interviews and communicate with candidates.
• Deliver induction and onboarding for every new starter, so they get a proper welcome from day one.
• Maintain a complete personnel file for each team member — application form, offer letter, contract, references, declarations, signed job description, induction receipt, working time directive documentation and right-to-work evidence.
• Keep statutory training records current, and coordinate attendance on company training courses, including pre- and post-course briefings with managers.
• Take minutes at management meetings, and type and distribute them accordingly.
• Monitor sickness and absence levels, track lost productivity, and ensure return-to-work meetings happen promptly.
• Provide administrative support to the General Manager, including letters, reports, meeting organisation and confidential material.
• Coordinate travel arrangements, meetings and hotel planners across the team.
• Handle telephone, email and face-to-face enquiries professionally and responsively.
• Support the General Manager, Operations Manager and Department Managers with employee relations documentation and team member celebrations.
• Keep Team Member notice boards, including the Internal Vacancy Board, tidy and up to date with current legislation and company information.
• Coordinate work experience placements with local schools, colleges and universities.
• Handle all confidential information professionally and discreetly at all times.
• Follow cash and key handling, fire, security (including GDPR and PCI DSS), and Health & Safety procedures as laid down by the hotel and company.
• Comply with hotel and company rules as set out in the team member handbook.
• Represent the business's cultural values — passionate, real, inspiring, dynamic and enthusiastic — day to day.
