Job Description:
Freemans Event Partners has been rocking the event world for over 50 years. From Silverstone to Wembley, Twickenham to Victorious Festival – if there’s a crowd to feed, refresh or wow, chances are we’re there.

Now we’re looking for a People Event Manager. Translation? The person who makes sure we’ve got the right people, in the right place, at the right time – so our events don’t just run, they fly. You’ll be part recruiter, part organiser, part firefighter (not literally, but sometimes it feels that way), and full\-time legend.

Yes, there will be weekends. Yes, there will be travel. And yes, you’ll get TOIL for it (because we’re nice like that).

Job Requirements:

• Previous experience in event planning or recruitment – this is non\-negotiable.


• Strong leadership, communication, and organisational skills (translation: you can herd cats and still smile).


• Cool under pressure – because things change fast in events.


• Positive, proactive, “can do” attitude (grumbling optional, but not recommended).


• Prepared to travel and work weekends – it’s events, not a 9–5\.

• Spot on forecasting of staffing for some of the UK’s most prestigious events – from festivals to stadiums.


• Running recruitment campaigns like a pro – adverts, interviews, talent pools, the works.


• Building and nurturing core teams who can deliver every time (think Avengers Assemble, but with radios and hi\-vis).


• Keeping staff happy, engaged, and compliant (you know, those pesky working regs).


• Showing up at events, making sure the right number of people are in the right place – and stepping in if they’re not.


• Coaching and supporting Staffing Assistants (basically being the boss they’ll thank later).


• Keeping an eye on staffing costs to make sure we’re not just brilliant, but profitable too.

• £28,000 – £33,000 depending on your experience.


• 28 days holiday plus bank holidays (yes, actual time off).


• Pension, life cover and employee assistance programme (because adulting matters).


• Healthcare cash plan – dentist, optician, GP, discounts, the lot.


• Fortnightly lunches and regular socials (we eat together, we win together).


• A chance to work at some of the UK’s biggest and best events – and actually get paid for it.

Benefits:

• Company events


• Company pension


• Free parking


• On\-site parking


• Sick pay
