Ideal candidate profile

The business is looking for someone with solid HR generalist or People Advisor experience, strong knowledge of UK employment law, and confidence managing employee relations issues with balanced judgement. You should communicate clearly, build trust with people at all levels, stay organised in a busy environment, and bring discretion, integrity, and a proactive approach. A CIPD qualification is welcome but not mandatory; candidates who are part-qualified or working towards it are also encouraged to apply.

Working arrangement

The role follows a hybrid pattern of three days in the London office and two days working from home. Office attendance is spread across three London locations on a rotating basis.

Pay and benefits

The salary is £45,000 to £50,000 depending on experience, with bonus and benefits. Additional benefits include 25 days of annual leave plus bank holidays, private medical insurance, enhanced maternity and paternity leave, a workplace pension with employer contributions of up to 7%, a Cycle to Work scheme, an Electric Vehicle scheme, and a season ticket loan. The organisation also describes its culture as warm, supportive, and purpose-driven.

Additional information

This is a role within an award-winning luxury tour operator with a conservation-led purpose and a portfolio of respected travel brands. The company is focused on delivering exceptional journeys and building a culture that reflects its values. The recruitment process is personally managed, with all shortlisted candidates fully briefed before interview.

Frequently asked questions

The employer notes that the salary will be shared in full with shortlisted candidates. Industry-specific experience in leisure travel is not essential, provided the candidate has strong HR generalist experience and a genuine interest in a purpose-led business.
