Are you an experienced HR professional who thrives in a fast-paced, people-first environment? Do you love the buzz of a dynamic business where no two days are the same - and where your voice genuinely matters?
Moxie People is thrilled to be partnering with one of London's leading wellness brands to find a brilliant Head of HR to join their team. This is an exciting opportunity for a confident, proactive self-starter who's ready to make their mark in a standalone (but far from isolated) role with plenty of scope for impact.
Location: Central London - 5 minutes from Liverpool Street (Hybrid, 70% office-based, with travel across various London sites)
Contract: Full-time, Permanent
Salary: £70-75,000
Start date: ASAP
About the Role
This isn't your typical HR job. You'll be stepping into a high-energy, purpose-led business where collaboration, creativity, and culture are at the heart of everything. Reporting into the Chief of Staff (with a dotted line to the CEO), you'll help shape a people strategy that genuinely works - for everyone from studio teams to senior leaders.
You'll be just as comfortable advising SLT on business-critical people topics as you are rolling up your sleeves to update policies or support a new starter. If you're commercially sharp, thrive in a fast-moving environment, and love building great culture - you'll feel right at home. Bonus points if you're passionate about health and fitness, too.
You'll also have part-time support from a fab HR Assistant - but this role needs someone who's confident working autonomously and ready to lead the HR function end to end.
What You'll Be Doing
Leading the HR function - balancing day-to-day support with strategic thinking that drives real business value
Designing and delivering people initiatives that improve engagement, retention and culture
Acting as a trusted advisor to leaders - providing insight, challenge and support on performance, planning and people strategy
Managing the full employee lifecycle - from recruitment and onboarding to ER, development and offboarding
Coaching managers to grow their leadership confidence and people skills
Owning and evolving policies and processes - keeping them clear, compliant and genuinely useful
Using people data and feedback to spot trends, make smart decisions, and continuously improveWhat You'll Need
Senior HR experience in a fast-paced, people-focused environment like hospitality, fitness, retail, or similar
Experience and understanding of the dynamics of working in a multi-site and multi-disciplinary team
Strong organisational skills - able to manage operations and long-term projects simultaneously
Proven success in recruitment and talent management, with a commercial, people-first approach
Comfortable switching between strategic planning and hands-on delivery
Excellent communicator across all levels - confident, clear, and adaptable
Strong leadership and influencing skills - practical, people-focused and trusted
Confident working independently and presenting to senior leadership
Commercial awareness - understands how HR impacts performance and growth
CIPD Level 5 (Level 7 is a plus)This is the perfect role for someone who's ready to step up, step in, and drive real change in a values-led, people-powered business that cares deeply about wellbeing - for both clients and colleagues.
