Regional HR Manager (Scotland)
Covering Holiday Inn Glasgow Airport • Holiday Inn Edinburgh • Glasgow Argyle Hotel
Three hotels. Hundreds of moments. One person who makes the difference: you.
In hospitality, the guest experience is only ever as strong as the colleague experience behind it. If you’re an HR professional who loves being close to the action — coaching leaders, building confident teams, and shaping a culture people genuinely want to be part of — this could be your next brilliant move.
We’re looking for a Regional HR Manager to support three busy Scottish hotels, partnering with GMs and Heads of Department to create a high-performing, people-positive environment where standards are clear, support is real, and development is a daily habit — not a once-a-year tick box.
The impact you’ll have
This is a hands-on, commercially aware role where you’ll balance warmth with backbone — bringing calm, consistent HR leadership across multiple sites while keeping a strong pulse on what teams need to thrive.
You’ll be a trusted advisor to hotel leadership, helping to strengthen performance, engagement, retention, and capability — all while ensuring we operate safely, fairly, and in line with best practice and employment legislation.
What you’ll be doing (the good stuff)
People partnership & culture
* Be visible across all three properties — building relationships quickly and becoming the “go-to” for managers and teams.
* Champion engagement, recognition and wellbeing initiatives that genuinely land in a hotel environment
Employee relations & case management
* Lead and support ER activity end-to-end (disciplinaries, grievances, absence management), coaching leaders to handle matters confidently, consistently and fairly.
Talent, hiring & onboarding
* Partner with leaders on workforce planning, recruitment needs, and smooth onboarding — ensuring new starters feel welcomed, clear, and set up to succeed from day one.
Learning, development & performance
* Help leaders grow leaders — supporting performance conversations, development pathways, and practical training that improves capability on the floor
Change & projects
* Support people-focused projects across sites — from organisational change to operational improvements — bringing clarity, structure and empathy through transition.
What we’re looking for
You’re the kind of HR professional who can switch comfortably between a sensitive colleague conversation and a robust performance plan — and do both with confidence.
Experience & capability
* Proven HR generalist/manager experience (ideally hospitality, retail, leisure, or another fast-paced multi-site environment).
* Strong knowledge of employee relations, with the judgement to advise leaders decisively.
* Confident coaching style — you don’t “do HR to people”; you enable managers to lead well.
* Comfortable using HR systems and data to spot trends and drive improvements.
Qualifications (ideal, not essential)
* CIPD qualified (or working towards / equivalent experience).
Practical
* Happy to travel regularly between Holiday Inn Glasgow Airport, Holiday Inn Edinburgh and Glasgow Argyle Hotel (this is a visible, present role).
