The Head of People is a member of the Executive Team and Executive Advisory Body and forms part of the Finance and Corporate Services Senior Leadership Team as well as chairing a number of organisational governance groups.

The post-holder also leads 5 teams, each led respectively by a C2 (Grade 6): Strategic Resourcing; Learning and Leadership; Corporate Transformation Programme; HR Business Partnering and Organisation Design & Development; and People Advice & Wellbeing.

The post holder also line manages the business support team for the wider Finance and Corporate Services.

The Head of People will also need to ensure that strategic workforce plans enable an agile workforce able to respond to increasing pressures on the social security system to provide a service to clients which treats them with dignity, fairness and respect.

To be successful in this role, you must be passionate about working in the public sector, delivering the best possible service to clients, but also able to draw that connection through to the employee experience and the capability of colleagues to deliver services in the right way - through skills and attitudes. You must be committed to developing HR professionalism and a strong advocate of evidence-based decision making and increased utilisation of data and analytical skills in HR. During the course of this role, you will oversee the launch of an updated People Plan which includes a new Learning and Leadership Strategy.

**Contract Type**
- Grade 6 within other government departments, or
- C2 or C3 within Scottish Government.

If successful, the type of contract offered will be determined by your current status:

- As an existing employee of the Scottish Government you will be hired on a temporary transfer
- As an existing Civil Servant from another government department you will be hired on a Loan basis from your existing department. If successful on loan from another Government department, you will return to your home department if the appointment ends.

As this post is being appointed through a Fair and Open process, if the decision is taken at any point to offer the successful applicant the post on a permanent basis, no further assessment would be required.

**Job description**:
The Head of People will lead and drive the transformation of the People function across Social Security Scotland. As a member of the Executive Team, the post holder will role-model the values of dignity, fairness and respect and have a leading role in the strategic direction of the organisation.

The successful post holder will provide professional expertise, inclusive leadership and deliver a high performing HR function as well as embedding excellent people leadership practices across Social Security Scotland.
