  • Proactively collaborate with all Centres of Expertise (COE) to shape and align activity, sharing your knowledge of your client groups' needs and issues.
  • Collaborate with the Organisational Design (OD) Team to design, deliver and implement OD that ensures accountability is clear, and roles and responsibilities are well defined. Share department knowledge of planned OD changes with the relevant COEs.
  • Partner with the People Services team to manage complex ER cases.
  • Using MI data, collaborate with the People Services team to develop action plans to address People issues/trends for business areas.
  • Collaborate with the T&Ex team to promote and embed activity across the school proactively sharing specific department needs. Contribute to the planning of new initiatives and projects where needed.
  • Partner with the TA team to deliver market insight and other relevant data to the Leadership teams so that they understand the role they need to play and the market in which we are operating.
Who we are looking for
  • Degree or other relevant HR qualification (CIPD)
  • Exceptional relationship building, persuasion and influencing capability
  • Resilient, driven self-starter who can lead by example
  • Solution-focused, problem solver with excellent communication skills
  • Comfortable dealing with ambiguity and open to change. Lead by example as a role model for school values, professional standards, and a sense of fun
  • Proven track record in the delivery of people management initiatives linked to agreed plans
  • A natural and purposeful collaborator who can work across teams (within the people team and across the School)
