They are one of the Great British art schools: a specialist creative arts university with an award-winning campus that draws on 175 years of history. The University is a vibrant community that forms the beating heart of the city and the region's arts and cultural worlds. They celebrate diversity and believe it to be at the core of any creative endeavour.

You'll be joining a forward-thinking People Team with ambitious plans They are seeking an exceptional HR Partner to support the implementation of their People Strategy and be the HR lead for policy development as well as the delivery of the University's Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (ED&I) agenda.
