HR ADVISOR – UK & EUROPE | Based in Germany

As HR Advisor – UK & Europe, you’ll be the go-to person for all things employee relations across edyn’s properties and central teams. From navigating tricky people situations and complex investigations to coaching managers and finding fair solutions, you’ll bring confidence, care and sound judgement to every challenge. Working across different countries and cultures, you’ll help us create positive workplaces while keeping things fair, compliant and true to edyn’s values.

THE STAGE IS SET

The stage is set for something different. We don’t run conventional hotels; we build places with character and intent.

What began as a small UK aparthotel portfolio has grown into a European collection recognised for design and atmosphere
- and we’re now entering a new chapter. As we redefine the brand and evolve our identity, we’re focused on creating spaces that feel compelling, contemporary, and truly distinctive. Locke leads with bold expression; Cove by Locke refines that same spirit into a quieter, more streamlined approach.

Guests come to rest, work, or escape. Comfort is a given
- great beds, hot showers, genuine service. But we aim to create moments that feel memorable and a little unexpected, bringing back the sense of mood hospitality often lost.

THE WORK IN YOUR HANDS

Manage a portfolio of employee relations cases across the UK and European operations, prioritising risk, fairness, timeliness and employee experience. Advise on and support probation, performance improvement, capability, conduct, disciplinary, grievance, bullying and harassment, sickness absence and related procedures. Plan, lead or support complex and sensitive workplace investigations, including allegations assessment, witness interviews, evidence review, findings reports and recommendations. Prepare and review case documentation, including invitations, meeting notes, investigation reports, outcome letters and appeal materials; maintain confidential and accurate records. Support managers with formal hearings, appeals and appropriate follow-up actions, ensuring procedural fairness and proportionate decisions. Identify patterns and recurring risks from casework and recommend improvements to policies, manager guidance and working practices.

Employment Law, Consultation & External Representation

Coordinate with ACAS in relevant UK disputes, including early conciliation, and liaise with local employment authorities or equivalent bodies where applicable.

Work with external solicitors and local counsel on complex disputes, settlement discussions and employment tribunal or court proceedings. Coordinate evidence, chronology, disclosure, witness information and internal instructions for legal proceedings, under the direction of legal advisers and senior HR leaders.
