HR and people support

Apply your people skills and help us recruit the best people

Are you people focused?

At YHA, people are at the core of everything we do. Whether that’s making adventure more accessible for those of limited means, connecting people to culture and heritage, or encouraging people to connect with each other. These connections improve health and wellbeing, build essential skills for work and life, and nurture a sense of belonging.

The HR and people support team develop, support and implement the end-to-end employee journey, including recruitment, selection, onboarding, induction, learning, development and engagement as well as wellbeing, performance, policies and off-boarding.

We are responsible for the development and delivery of YHA’s People Strategy, which supports the empowerment and development of staff and volunteers. This means engaging with stakeholders in every department on the strategy and tactical delivery of projects and day-to-day people matters. This provides the team with a great insight into the business. Employee engagement and performance is the responsibility of everyone to understand what’s expected from a YHA employee and what that means in terms of our HEART values.
