Hand Picked Hotels was founded in 2001 by owner, Chairman and CEO, Julia Hands MBE. Julia’s love of historical buildings, the English countryside, local food and good wine inspired her dream to own a collection of hotels that would celebrate these passions and invite others to share in them.
Today, the family-owned group has 21 unique luxury country houses and coastal retreats, each hand picked for their individuality. Architecturally distinctive and quintessentially British, every hotel boasts an extraordinary location from Scotland to the Channel Islands, offering breathtaking views from vast countryside to expansive beaches, to lush woodlands.
Dedicated to creating unique and enchanting stays, curated personalised service runs through the heart of every hotel. Whilst each hotel is individual, each property fulfils the company values of family, individuality, community and care, with a team routed in their commitment to aim higher and delighting their guests with magical experiences that offer a true escape from the every day.
As part of the ongoing transformation of Hand Picked Hotels, we are currently recruiting for a Head of Fire, Life, Health, Safety and Security to be responsible for developing, implementing and overseeing all FLHSS prevention and response strategies, polices and procedures within Hand Picked Hotels.
This exciting new role will ensure compliance with relevant legislation, fosters a strong culture of safety and security and proactively works to mitigate risks across Hand Picked Hotels.
The role requires an action-oriented individual who can bring both technical expertise and leadership capabilities to all situations, with enough gravitas to influence senior stakeholders across the business.
This role will involve extensive travel to our all our hotels across our collection, with a base location either at one of our hotels or from our central support office located in Kent.
