Working collaboratively on change projects with HR colleagues, the role is also responsible for managing the implementation of the University's Release Schemes.

The 'Our People' theme within Strategy 2030 sets out how 'we will support each other to thrive, be fulfilled and reach our potential. We will celebrate diversity and be inclusive, fair and compassionate in everything we do, prioritising the health and wellbeing of our community.' This is a wonderful opportunity to help deliver a vial part of our exciting University Strategy working in close conjunction with the HR Senior Leadership Team.

You
