At a critical time in the Partnership, the focus of our team is transformation. In People, we’re supporting the business to transform, and at the same time, working hard to transform ourselves. The role of Senior Business Partner represents an exciting opportunity to work closely with the Executive team to understand and build strategic People plans that support the delivery of the Partnership Plan and our transformation.

This is a pivotal role in our People function, and a key focus for our Senior Business Partners (SBPs) is to act as both a trusted advisor and critical friend to our Executive leaders and their leadership teams, coaching and advising on all aspects of commercial, cultural and Partner-centred planning to put best practice in place.

- Working across the People function to create and deliver a holistic and effective people strategy that ensures we have the talent and capabilities required to fulfil the aspirations of the Partnership.
- Leading a wide portfolio of work, including partnering Enterprise leaders on their organisational strategies, selecting and deploying talent strategies to drive talent development, retention and leadership succession planning.
- Partner across the Talent & Development teams including our executive talent acquisition on executive hiring, our leadership team on development for our senior leaders, as well as the talent and performance team in embedding our talent and succession practices.

A unique opportunity to shape and make a significant impact on the Partnership, our Partners, and communities. Our Senior Business Partners have a privileged role, working alongside the Exec teams to deliver meaningful people priorities; focusing on creating an environment of responsibility, trust and a place where all Partners can thrive in the Partnership.
