Job Description
Freemans Event Partners has been rocking the event world for over 50 years. From Silverstone to Wembley, Twickenham to Victorious Festival – if there’s a crowd to feed, refresh or wow, chances are we’re there.
Now we’re looking for aPeople Event Manager. Translation? The person who makes sure we’ve got the right people, in the right place, at the right time – so our events don’t just run, they fly. You’ll be part recruiter, part organiser, part firefighter (not literally, but sometimes it feels that way), and full-time legend.
Yes, there will be weekends. Yes, there will be travel. And yes, you’ll get TOIL for it (because we’re nice like that).
Job Responsibilities
* Spot on forecasting of staffing for some of the UK’s most prestigious events – from festivals to stadiums.
* Running recruitment campaigns like a pro – adverts, interviews, talent pools, the works.
* Building and nurturing core teams who can deliver every time (think Avengers Assemble, but with radios and hi-vis).
* Keeping staff happy, engaged, and compliant (you know, those pesky working regs).
* Showing up at events, making sure the right number of people are in the right place – and stepping in if they’re not.
* Coaching and supporting Staffing Assistants (basically being the boss they’ll thank later).
* Keeping an eye on staffing costs to make sure we’re not just brilliant, but profitable too.
Job Requirements
* Previous experience inevent planningorrecruitment– this is non-negotiable.
* Strong leadership, communication, and organisational skills (translation: you can herd cats and still smile).
* Cool under pressure – because things change fast in events.
* Positive, proactive, “can do” attitude (grumbling optional, but not recommended).
* Prepared to travel and work weekends – it’s events, not a 9–5.
* 28 days holiday plus bank holidays (yes, actual time off).
* Pension, life cover and employee assistance programme (because adulting matters).
* Healthcare cash plan – dentist, optician, GP, discounts, the lot.
* Fortnightly lunches and regular socials (we eat together, we win together).
* A chance to work at some of the UK’s biggest and best events – and actually get paid for it.
