Job Description:
Dave’s Hot Chicken started as a late-night parking lot pop-up—three friends, $900 and a portable fryer slinging hot chicken in East Hollywood. Fast forward and it’s a global sensation with a cult following—including icons like Drake and Usher. Known for its mind-blowing flavour and addictive heat, Dave’s is bringing the vibe to the UK—and they’re looking for bold, hype-driven people to join the team.
We’re not your typical quick-service restaurant. We're part of a bigger group of brands within the Azzurri Group and we are a premium, fast-growing brand with big ambitions — we opened our 1st UK site at Shaftesbury Avenue, London last year, and we're opening 11+ new locations in the next 12 months across the UK and Ireland. And we’re just getting started.
To fuel this growth, we need a dynamic, hands-on People Advisor who’s ready to roll up their sleeves, solve problems on the fly, and help build an outstanding employee experience from the ground up. This is a standalone role so you’ll be involved in all aspects of the employee lifecycle, but with the support of a small People Team at Group level.
What you’ll be doing
* Taking the lead on recruitment for all our new restaurant teams—finding great people fast.
* Building and owning the bread and butter of HR: onboarding, payroll prep, benefits, ER casework, and systems.
* Being a go-to partner for managers—offering confident, practical advice that builds their capability.
* Making sure we do things right, stay true to our culture, and never fall behind.
* Supporting our people systems, processes and insights as we scale at pace.
* Championing our internal comms and employee engagement—ensuring our team feel informed, included, and proud to work here.
What you’ll bring:
* Solid experience in a generalist HR or People Advisor role (hospitality or retail a plus).
* Confident with employee relations and employment law.
* Calm under pressure and ability to be flexible and agile
* Comfortable working independently and making smart decisions.
* Naturally curious, solutions-focused, and always asking “what can we do better?”
This is a brilliant opportunity to join a brand in scale-up mode where your ideas will shape how we work. If you thrive in fast-paced environments, and want to be part of our journey, we’d love to hear from you.
