We're looking for an HR Advisor to support a busy, multi-site, multi-functional organisation and act as a primary people contact for operational managers and stakeholders across hospitality, retail, sports and entertainment, events and corporate.

The HR Advisor will cover the full generalist remit: employee relations, engagement, reward support, business partnering, and involvement in HR projects as the business continues to grow. This is a role with real breadth — you'll be advising on complex casework one day and shaping engagement strategy the next, all the while ensuring OVG is a great place to work.

The right candidate will need to be comfortable working at pace across a varied and demanding environment. You'll be organised, solutions-focused, and confident enough to push back when needed — while remaining a genuinely supportive partner to the managers and teams you work with.

• Employee relations — owning ER casework end-to-end across the patch, including disciplinaries, grievances, absence management, and performance. Providing sound, legally grounded advice to managers at all levels
• Business partnering — acting as a trusted HR Advisor to operational managers and senior leaders, coaching them to manage their teams more effectively and make better people decisions
• Engagement — contributing to and driving employee engagement initiatives, helping shape the people experience across multiple sites
• Reward — supporting the development and communication of reward and recognition activity in line with business objectives
• HR projects — getting involved in systems, learning and development, recruitment, and other people initiatives as the business scales — this is a growing organisation and there's no shortage of things to get involved in
• Data and reporting — producing and interpreting people data to support managers and feed into senior HR reporting
• Policy and compliance — maintaining and applying up-to-date knowledge of employment law and keeping the business on the right side of it

An experienced HR Advisor or HR Generalist who has operated at pace in a complex, multi-site environment — ideally within hospitality, food and beverage, retail, or a similarly high-volume consumer-facing sector. You'll understand the rhythm of this kind of business and won't need much time to find your feet.

• At least five years' HR experience, with a solid track record operating as an HR Advisor, HR Generalist, or similar generalist role
• Strong, demonstrable ER experience — confident handling complex casework independently and advising managers with clarity and sound judgement
• CIPD Level 5 qualified, or working towards it — or equivalent experience that demonstrates the same depth of knowledge
• Comfortable working across multiple sites and stakeholders, with the organisational skills to manage a varied and busy workload
• A credible and personable communicator — someone managers and employees trust equally
• Commercial awareness — you understand how people decisions affect business outcomes and you engage with that context, not just the process
• Proactive and resilient — you stay solutions-focused under pressure and take ownership of your work
• Background in branded hospitality, restaurants, food and beverage, or leisure is highly desirable — sector experience will be a genuine advantage

Good To Know

This is generally a hybrid role; office location in WC2; you'll need to be London-based or within reach of our central London locations - the role is field based and will need to be present at our sites as and when needed.

This is a role with a genuine progression path. We're looking for an HR Advisor who has ambitions beyond this position — someone who wants to develop into an HR Manager or HR Business Partner over time and has the appetite to earn that. Within OVG, the opportunity to grow is real: the business is expanding and we promote and develop from within wherever we can.
