Edyn is transforming the way we support our people by consolidating nine payroll systems into one and implementing new Human Capital Management, Recruitment, Learning Management, Time & Attendance and Employee Expenses platforms.
As our HR Graduate, you will work alongside HR leaders, operational teams and external technology partners to help shape the future of HR across the business. You’ll gather business requirements, map existing and future processes, support data cleansing and migration, assist with system configuration and testing, contribute to implementation and help embed new ways of working.
As the project progresses, you will create training materials, support manager and employee education, gather feedback and help drive adoption of our new systems. Alongside this transformation work, you’ll gain valuable exposure to employee relations, HR analytics, policy development and people operations, providing an outstanding foundation for a career in Human Resources.
This role is based five days a week in our London Bridge Head Office.
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.
This is our backdrop. We’re on an exciting journey step on stage and play your part.
