Since opening just two years ago, Williams & Hirst has won 12 industry awards and grown into a community of over 40 independent hairdressers, operating from our 18-chair salon on Wardour Street. We are a fast-growing business, and alongside the day-to-day salon, Williams & Hirst regularly hosts leading hair and beauty brands for events, education, launches and industry activations. We are now looking for a confident, highly organised and responsible Salon Coordinator to take ownership of the day-to-day coordination of the salon. The Role The Salon Coordinator is a key operational role within Williams & Hirst, working closely with and reporting directly to the Directors. You will be responsible for ensuring the salon runs smoothly day to day, including coordinating the Front of House team and managing their rota to ensure the salon is appropriately staffed. With 18 workstations, over 40 independent hairdressers and a constant flow of clients, deliveries, brands and events, this is a fast-paced role where excellent communication and organisation are essential. You must be able to work under pressure, prioritise quickly, take responsibility and make sensible decisions without needing constant direction. This is also a hands-on position. Whether it's dealing with an operational issue, supporting Front of House, completing a stock check, speaking with an independent hairdresser or making client refreshments during a busy period, we expect everyone to work together to maintain the standards of Williams & Hirst. The ability to work evenings and Saturdays is an essential requirement of this position. Applicants must have flexibility across these periods as part of their regular working pattern. Key Responsibilities • Taking responsibility for the day-to-day running and coordination of the salon, • Working directly with the Directors and communicating any operational issues clearly, • Coordinating and supporting the Front of House team, • Managing the Front of House rota, including planning shifts, holidays and arranging appropriate cover when required, • Ensuring Front of House staffing reflects the needs of the salon and upcoming events, • Supporting the Front of House team with their daily duties and ensuring tasks are completed to the required standard, • Ensuring daily opening and closing procedures are completed correctly, • Welcoming clients and maintaining an exceptional client experience, • Preparing and serving client refreshments throughout the day, • Maintaining the presentation and standards of all client-facing and communal areas, • Supporting our community of 40+ independent hairdressers with day-to-day operational queries, • Carrying out regular stock checks across salon, retail, hospitality and operational supplies, • Monitoring stock levels, identifying shortages and ensuring essential items are reordered, • Receiving, checking and organising deliveries, • Liaising professionally with suppliers, contractors and external partners, • Supporting the coordination of brand events, education and private hires, • Identifying problems and taking ownership of resolving them, • Communicating effectively between the Directors, Front of House team and independent hairdressers, • Ensuring salon procedures, standards and house rules are followed, • Having tough or uncomfortable conversations when required, while remaining professional, fair and respectful, • Handling complaints or difficult situations calmly and knowing when something should be escalated to the Directors, • Taking on additional operational responsibilities as the company continues to grow Who We're Looking For We are looking for someone who is confident, switched-on, responsible and exceptionally organised. The salon can be extremely busy, with multiple things requiring attention at the same time. You need to be able to remain calm, prioritise effectively and make decisions while continuing to deliver a high standard of service. Excellent spoken and written English is essential for this role, due to the level of daily communication required with clients, independent hairdressers, team members, Directors, brands, suppliers and external partners. You should be: • Highly organised with excellent attention to detail, • Confident working in a fast-paced and high-pressure environment, • Responsible, reliable and punctual, • Proactive — someone who sees what needs doing and does it, • Comfortable taking ownership and making day-to-day decisions, • Confident managing rotas, staffing requirements and last-minute changes, • An excellent verbal and written communicator, • Approachable but confident enough to be firm when required, • Comfortable having difficult conversations and resolving issues, • Naturally hospitality and customer-service focused, • Able to coordinate and support a Front of House team, • Comfortable carrying out stock checks and maintaining accurate records, • Calm and solutions-focused when problems arise, • Happy to be hands-on and help wherever required, • Someone who takes genuine pride in maintaining exceptionally high standards, • Able and willing to work evenings and Saturdays – this is non-negotiable and an essential requirement of the role Previous salon experience is preferred, particularly experience within a busy or premium salon environment. Experience within high-end hospitality, hotels, members' clubs or other fast-paced customer-facing businesses will also be considered. Progression & Opportunity Williams & Hirst is a fast-growing company, and we want this position to grow alongside the business. Having won 12 awards in our first two years, grown to more than 40 independent hairdressers and established an 18-chair flagship space in Soho, our operation continues to evolve. For the right person, there will be opportunities for career progression, increased responsibility and performance-related bonuses as both the role and company develop. This is not a traditional receptionist position. We are looking for someone who wants ownership, responsibility and the opportunity to become an important part of the continued growth of Williams & Hirst.

    Full-time
    London

    We’re two young entrepreneurs (28y/o) with a 10-week-old baby, looking for an amazing extra pair of hands to join us for the next 1–4 months. We both work from home and are running businesses across furniture, real estate, fashion and tech, finishing a house renovation, and looking after our new baby. We’re looking for someone who can work alongside us and help wherever they’re most needed that day. This is a genuinely varied role. One day (or one hour!) could look completely different from the next. You might be: • Helping with business admin, research, emails, spreadsheets or organising samples, • Helping coordinate contractors, deliveries and outstanding renovation jobs, • Running errands, organising returns or picking things up, • Holding or entertaining the baby while one of us takes a call or catches up with emails, • Putting on a load of laundry, tidying the kitchen or helping get the house back in order, • Organising a cupboard, unpacking a delivery or making us all something quick for lunch, • Generally spotting what needs doing and taking it off our plate There will usually be all four of us at home together, so this isn't a traditional nanny, housekeeper or PA position. It's much more of an all-round support role, working alongside us as part of the family/work setup. We don't mind if your background is in production, personal assistance, childcare, fashion, hospitality, startups or something completely different. What matters most is that you're bright, warm, trustworthy, practical and extremely proactive. We're looking for the kind of person who doesn't need a rigid job description and naturally thinks, “What can I do to make today run more smoothly?” You should be comfortable around a young baby and equally comfortable jumping onto a laptop, speaking to a contractor or folding a load of laundry. Hours: Monday–Friday, 10am–6pm Duration: Minimum 1 month, potentially up to 4 months Start: ASAP Location: London, working from our home For the initial month, we're looking for someone who already works on a freelance/self-employed basis and is able to invoice us for their time.

    £35000–£40000 yearly
    Full-time
    South Tottenham, London

    Lands Partners is a London property company — we buy, refurbish and manage residential property across the city. Our construction team is growing, and we're looking for a Site Manager to be our eyes and ears on the ground. This is a role for someone who notices things. You'll be out on the road most days, moving between our sites across London — checking progress, photographing work, writing up what you find and dealing with the builders face to face. If something is going wrong, we want to hear it from you before it becomes a problem. Office Hours: Monday to Thursday, 9:30am–5:30pm. Friday, 9:30am–2:00pm. While the Office Hours are set, due to the nature of this position you might be required to have flexible start or end times. Office: Anna House, 214–218 High Road, South Tottenham, N15 4NP — though you'll spend most of your time out on site, not at a desk. WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING • Visiting our sites across London to inspect ongoing construction and refurbishment work, • Photographing and documenting progress and issues on our company app (full training given), • Writing up site reports after each visit, • Speaking to builders and contractors on site — checking work is being done properly, and chasing what isn't, • Talking to neighbours and dealing with anything that comes up around our properties, • Spotting problems early and following them through until they're fixed WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR This matters to us more than a CV: • You spot things. You walk onto a site and notice what isn't right., • You take action on your own. Nobody will be standing over you. You're out on the road alone most of the day, and we need to know things get done., • You're reliable. If you say you'll be somewhere, you're there., • You can talk to anyone. Builders, neighbours, tenants, council offices, building control inspectors — and stay calm and professional when the conversation is a difficult one., • You're comfortable using a smartphone app for photos and reports. It's simple, but it's a daily part of the job. ESSENTIAL • Full UK driving licence, • Right to work in the UK, • Flexibility — the nature of the work means hours can move around, and we need someone who can work with that, • Experience in construction, property or maintenance is a real advantage, but attitude matters more. If you've got the right eye and the right work ethic, we'll train you on the rest. WHAT WE OFFER • Company car provided, • Permanent employed position (PAYE) — not self-employed, • Early finish every Friday at 2pm, • A varied job — you're not sat at a desk, and no two days look the same, • A growing company where the problems you flag actually get acted on

Our projects include: • Home extensions, • Loft conversions, • Full and partial property renovations, • Internal remodelling and refurbishment Typical contract values range from £40,000 to £250,000, with an average project value of approximately £70,000. This role is designed for someone who wants the independence and earning potential of running projects without having to worry about finding customers, generating leads, running sales calls, issuing contracts, chasing invoices or managing back-office administration. We find the work and run the back office. You deliver the projects. How the role works The company generates enquiries and works with homeowners to understand their plans, budget and project requirements. Once we identify a promising opportunity, you will: 1. Visit the property and meet the client in person., 2. Discuss the proposed work in detail., 3. Assess the site and identify potential risks or challenges., 4. Scope the work and prepare an accurate, commercially viable quotation., 5. Support our internal team with any technical questions required to close the project. Our internal team then takes over the sales process, follows up with the customer, issues contracts and closes the project. Once the project is secured, you take responsibility for delivering it from start to finish. Focus on delivery, not administration We take care of the back office, including: • Lead generation, • Initial customer qualification, • Sales calls and follow-up, • Customer contracts, • Billing, • Invoicing, • Payment collection, • General administration You are not expected to spend your time finding work, chasing paperwork, issuing contracts or collecting money.

The more work you successfully manage, and the more efficiently and profitably you deliver it, the more you can earn. No need to find your own work One of the biggest challenges of running a construction business is keeping the pipeline full. We take that problem away. Our team generates the enquiries, qualifies customers and runs the sales process. We can generate as much work as you are capable of successfully delivering. Whether you want to manage £60,000 or £6 million of construction work, we want the limiting factor to be your ability to deliver rather than our ability to find projects.

That allows you to spend your time where you add the most value: on site, with contractors and with clients. Be your own boss The role is largely self-directed. You will have significant freedom over how you organise your time, manage your contractors and deliver your projects. We are looking for someone who wants responsibility rather than someone who needs constant supervision. How the numbers work Our average project is approximately £70,000. A well-run project should achieve at least a 20% profit margin, with 30% or more achievable on strong projects. That means a £70,000 project could generate: 20% Margin30% Margin Contract value £70,000 £70,000 Project profit £14,000 £21,000 Your commission is linked to the profit generated by the projects you manage.

Maintain strong margins. Deliver excellent work. Earn more commission. There is no commission cap. By the numbers • Project values: £40,000–£250,000, • Average project: approximately £70,000, • Target minimum project margin: 20%, • Strong projects can achieve approximately 30%+, • Typical £70k project duration: no more than six weeks, • Average conversion following a qualified site visit: approximately 20%, • Approximately five suitable site visits generate one secured project, • Salary: £40,000–£130,000, • Uncapped project commission, • Commission directly linked to project profitability, • Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously, • As much work available as you are capable of successfully delivering Who we are looking for This role would suit an experienced: • Construction Project Manager, • Contracts Manager, • Construction Manager, • Site Manager, • Residential Project Manager, • General Builder looking to move into project management You should understand both the practical and commercial sides of domestic construction.
