Assistant People Business Partners own cases from start to finish. They work closely with line managers providing advice and assistance. They work within organisational policies and agreed practice but also identify policy concerns and contribute to work to develop new policy and guidance. As one of the key links between the business and the People Directorate APBPs will also maintain an excellent knowledge of work being progressed in the wider directorate and provide insights to the OD and Talent and Learning and Development teams to inform their work.
