Assistant People
& Culture Manager

Full time |
On-site

A Stage Unlike
Any Other

In 1863, a
group of artists, writers, and free thinkers gathered with a shared conviction:
that the finest conversation, the boldest ideas, and the warmest hospitality
belonged together under one roof. Charles Dickens dined here. Whistler argued
here. Rodin was inspired here.

The Arts Club
was born not as a venue, but as a living expression of creative life — and it
has never stopped.

At the heart of
that life today are the people and spaces that bring our club to life every
day. This is more than an operation — it is an environment where members
connect, create, and return time and time again because something about it
feels truly special.

It takes an
exceptional person to be part of that.

That person
might be you.

Be part of
building an exceptional workplace where people and performance thrive together.

We are looking
for a proactive and people-focused Assistant People & Culture Manager to
join our People & Culture team. Reporting to the People & Culture
Manager, you will play an important role in delivering exceptional people
practices, supporting employee engagement initiatives, and partnering with
managers to create a positive, high-performing workplace culture.

This is an
excellent opportunity for an HR professional who enjoys building strong
relationships, guiding managers through people matters, and helping to create a
workplace where employees can thrive.

What you'll be
doing

• Support and advise managers on employee
  relations matters, including disciplinary, grievance, absence and
  performance issues.


• Manage employee relations cases and ensure HR
  processes remain compliant and up to date.


• Coach managers on people management best
  practices and UK employment law.


• Support employee engagement, wellbeing and
  retention initiatives.


• Lead and support recruitment activities,
  partnering with hiring managers to attract great talent.


• Assist with compensation and benefits
  administration, salary benchmarking and market reviews.


• Produce HR reports and people metrics to
  support business decision-making.


• Review and maintain HR policies and
  procedures to ensure legal compliance.


• Provide day-to-day guidance and support to
  junior members of the People & Culture team.

About you

• Minimum 3 years' People & Culture / HR
  experience, ideally within hospitality, luxury, service-led or similarly
  fast-paced environments.


• Experience handling employee relations
  matters, recruitment and employee engagement initiatives.


• Good working knowledge of UK employment law
  and HR best practice.


• Confident, practical and professional when
  managing sensitive people issues.


• Strong interpersonal and
  relationship-building skills, with the ability to influence at all levels.


• Highly organised with excellent attention to
  detail and the ability to manage multiple priorities.


• Proactive, solutions-focused and comfortable
  working in a fast-paced environment.


• Strong communication and coaching skills,
  with a genuine passion for people and culture.

The successful
candidate will be a trusted HR professional who combines sound judgement,
professionalism and empathy with a strong focus on delivering excellent people
practices and supporting a positive, high-performing workplace culture.
