Liverpool, Liverpool, United Kingdom Sodexo Full time

Are you an experienced HR professional with a knack for strategic influence and a passion for driving people performance? Sodexo, a leader in integrated facilities management and quality of life services, is seeking a dynamic HR Business Partner to join our Senior Leadership Team at HMP Altcourse and HMP Forest Bank. This role is critical in ensuring that our HR strategies align with the business goals, enabling our teams to thrive in a demanding environment.

What We Are Offering:

  • Competitive and negotiable salary.
  • 40 hours per week, Monday to Friday.
  • Primarily site based with opportunity to work the occasional day from home.
  • Will be eligible for bonus scheme.
  • Eligible for our flexible benefits scheme.
  • Please see attached benefits guide for a full list of what we have to offer

Your Role as an HR Business Partner:

As an HR Business Partner at HMP Altcourse and HMP Forest Bank, you will be both a strategic architect of people solutions and a catalyst for positive change. Your role involves partnering with senior business leaders to drive and deliver HR solutions that maximise team performance and foster a culture of inclusivity. You'll play a pivotal part in regional transformation projects, ensuring that our HR strategies are not only aligned with business goals but also prepare the prisons for future success.

You'll be responsible for overseeing a diverse HR team, providing leadership and direction to ensure effective people management across the prison. This includes enhancing leadership and senior management's awareness of HR processes and systems, leading to improved business performance. You'll also focus on data-driven decision-making, using insights to implement measurable actions that improve processes and outcomes. As part of the Senior Leadership Team, you will contribute to the overall strategic direction of the prisons, ensuring that our people resources are effectively managed to support operational excellence.

You will be expected to travel to both HMP Forest Bank and HMP Altcourse each week, dividing your time equally across both prisons.

If you believe you possess skills required for this challenging yet rewarding HR Business Partner role, we encourage you to apply and become a valuable part of our dynamic team

The Ideal Candidate:

This role is a great opportunity for someone looking for the next step in their HR career or wanting to continue developing their skills and competencies in a new environment.

Ideal qualities:

  • Substantial HR generalist experience.
  • Proven organisational development and design experience, with a strong focus on change processes, including both collective and individual consultation.
  • Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence with integrity.
  • Demonstrated commercial acumen and experience in business partnering at a senior level within a matrix organisation.
  • Proven ability to translate strategy into actionable people plans, with excellent facilitation and coaching skills.
  • Outstanding interpersonal, communication, and presentation skills.
  • CIPD qualified or qualified by experience.

Desirable qualities:

  • Experience working within the justice sphere.
  • SAP HR experience.

Whilst we are ideally looking for a candidate that meets most of the above, we would implore applicants who think they have the relevant transferrable skills to apply for this role, as you may still be a great fit and we wouldn't want to miss you

Why Join Us?

At Sodexo, our purpose is to create a better every day for everyone to build a better life for all.

Sodexo's vision for our prisons is to develop a safe, stable, and progressive environment with modern facilities dedicated to reducing re-offending and enabling individuals to fulfil their potential. Every aspect of the prison is designed to help prisoners make meaningful progress in their sentence and personal development goals within a surrounding culture of rehabilitation.

An opportunity too good to miss

Working with Sodexo is more than a job; it's a chance to be part of something greater. You'll belong in a company and team that values you for you; you'll act with purpose and have an impact through your everyday actions. And for that you'll receive an excellent benefits package including access to gym facilities on site and a Blue Light card.

We're all about building a workplace for the future, we believe in equal opportunities, and we celebrate diversity. We're an inclusive workplace, where everyone is welcome and can be the best versions of themselves. We recognise that we're on a journey with regards to diversity and inclusion and would therefore welcome applications from candidates from under-represented backgrounds.
