As a Continuous Improvement Specialist within People Services for this 12 month contract you’ll support the knowledge growth and capability of our teams enabling us to continually evolve, modernise and provide more complex people support across the Society.

You’ll contribute to the planning, continuous improvement, and evaluation of services in the People Services teams, to support the simplification of employee interactions with the People Function. In doing so, you’ll contribute towards the achievement of target outcomes, for example, ensuring that the operation is both efficient and effective in its practices. You’ll work alongside a team of Service Design & Improvement Architects, Process Improvement Specialists and Coordinators.

Your success isn’t based on how long you spend at your desk. You’ll have contracted hours, but we’re always happy to support flexible working wherever we can. That might mean working from home or different Nationwide offices or agreeing a working pattern to help you balance work and life. We will always strive to find a way that works for everyone.

- Interpret management information and user feedback to underlying business issues / trends to design and implement solutions that improve the overall service offering.
- Providing appropriate training and knowledge transfer for People Service teams based on continuous improvement initiates.

This role is full of variety and no two days are the same

**About you**:

- Extensive experience of Continuous Improvement ideally within HR.
- An understanding of the role played by associate technologies (Cloud, Digital Assistant and Helpdesk Knowledge Platform) in the presentation of HR information and advice.
- Excellent planning and organisational skills and ability to manage multiple competing project priorities and deliverables.
- A creative mindset and passion to innovate.
- Experience engaging stakeholders at different levels (up to an including Director level).
- Willingness to challenge assumptions, the status quo, with experience of successfully influencing Senior Managers and facilitating joint decision-making.
- The ability to collaborate be agile, bold and act with pace.

We’re also interested in who you are as a person. Why? Because our membership is made up of so many different kinds of people, so we want our employees to be just as diverse. We’d love to hear about:

- Your values, and what makes you who you are
- How you’d make a difference to our members in this role

**The extras you’ll get**:
There are all sorts of employee benefits available at Nationwide, including:

- A personal pension - if you put in 7% of your salary, we’ll top up by a further 16%
- Up to 2 days of paid volunteering a year
- Life assurance worth 8x your salary
- A great selection of additional benefits through our salary sacrifice scheme
- Access to an annual performance related bonus
- Access to training to help you develop and progress your career
- Gympass - Access to a range of free and paid options for health and wellness.
- 25 days holiday, pro rata

**Why work at Nationwide**:
We’re different from other financial service providers. We’re a building society, owned by our members. And for over 130 years, we’ve supported those members to make the most of their money and achieve what they want from life.

That’s reflected in the way we work here at Nationwide. We come together to make sure we’re doing things in the best way possible, both for each other and for our members. If you join us, you’ll be part of that. You’ll be able to help us build something really quite special. And you’ll have the opportunity to make a real difference.

On top of that, we always want you to be yourself. To use your skills and experience to make our Society stronger. To feel valued for who you are, not just what you do. Because here at Nationwide, we understand that we can do more together than we ever could alone.
