People and Culture Intern

Company Description

We’re looking for a People Intern to join our team at The Hoxton, Poblenou! 

The Hoxton Poblenou in the city of Barcelona is our 11th Hoxton. The hotel boasts 240 bedrooms of different sizes, a large restaurant Four Corners with The Slice shop and La Bodega, a rooftop pool and our taqueria Tope, a bright and airy lobby, a multi-functional basement events space and The Apartment (our unique meetings & events concept). 

More about us…. 

The Hoxton is a series of open-house hotels, each in a neighbourhood that we love. Ever since we opened our first hotel in Shoreditch, we’ve never just been about offering a bed for the night. We want to be more than that: proving style doesn’t need to be sacrificed for good value and providing a place where guests can hang out alongside the locals and submerse themselves in the neighbourhood with vibrant, welcoming public spaces. 

Reporting to our People & Culture Manager, you will be responsible for supporting the daily people operations for 5-6 months starting in September 2025.

What's in it for you... 

• Become part of a team that’s very passionate about creating great hospitality experiences. 
• Internship allowance of 500€ gross per month. 
• Food on us during your shift. 
• Enjoy a free night at The Hoxton and a meal for two when you first start with us. 
• Training to get you settled into your role with ongoing development that helps you think, make and thrive to set you up for success at work. 
• Time off to volunteer with one of our partner charities. 
• Hox Hero our reward for going the extra mile and living our values. 
• An annual diversity and inclusion calendar of events creating opportunities for you to learn, celebrate and make a positive impact. 
• Regular team get togethers, from our High Fives to our (pretty special!) team parties – we know how to have a good time! 
• The chance to challenge the norm and work in an environment that is both creative and rewarding. 
• Join an innovative, fast-growing, international group that is shaking things up on the hospitality scene. 
• Excellent discounts across The Hoxton and the global Ennismore family. 
• Regular team get togethers, from our team drinks to our (pretty special!) bi-annual parties – we know how to have a good time! 

Job Description

What you’ll do… 

• Support the team with recruitment needs, CV pre-screening and telephone screening. 
• Advertise vacancies on The Hoxton website and local recruitment job boards.  
• Organise coffee chats with all new starters. 
• Fun-time Friday, get togethers? That’s your domain. You arrange the regular events that everyone looks forward to. 
• Get involved in the Team activities. 
• And yes, there’s some admin... Some training tracking, some scanning, some business card order. But let’s face it, we know you love that! 
• Tech? No issue. You know your systems and can set up accounts for the team. 

What we’re looking for… 

• Individuals. You’re looking for a place where you can be you; no clones in suits here. 
• Passion for hospitality – whether that’s a drink, a meal, an event or a bed for the night. You’re all about having a positive impact on the people you interact with, leaving them with a memorable experience. You’re not precious. We leave our egos at the door and help get things done. You’re up for doing things differently and trying (almost) everything once. 
• If we got stuck in a lift together, we’d have a good time and share a few laughs.  
• Currently enrolled in a Bachelor’s Degree or Master’s Degree in Hospitality Management or Human Resources Management. 
• Must be fluent in Spanish and English. 
• It's all about attitude for us, someone who enjoys being helpful to others; that person who makes you feel confident they can answer any question and who you'd want to stop and chat to. 
• You are scarily organised, have the ability to multi-task and spin a million plates in the air at one time, prioritise and re-prioritise as things come in. 
• You know how to crack the whip – but make people feel good at the same time.
