Can you utilise Excel to create scenario modelling, and use data and insight to influence decision making?

Do you have experience building relationships with a range of stakeholders, and enjoy solving problems?

**If so, we'd love to hear from you**

Workforce Planning ensures departments have the right resource, capability and talent to deliver priorities, both in the short and long term. At the heart of this is translating business strategy into a strategic workforce plan which identifies future workforce requirements and capability gaps, so that strategic resourcing solutions can be developed to address the gaps. Effective and timely workforce planning goes beyond forecasting headcount and can provide agile people solutions to complement the future direction of a business.

**Job description**:
We are looking for someone with strong Microsoft Excel modelling skills with a keen interest in HR and who enjoys problem solving and working with others. This role will have the opportunity to help shape the core department’s workforce planning expert service and work across the HR function and wider department to deliver this.

This role would suit someone who enjoys being part of team and working with others but is also comfortable working independently. If you are new to Human Resources, then it offers the chance to explore the profession as workforce planning touches on the whole function and its different specialist areas. You will be supported to understand the role of the profession and the department it supports. If you are already an HR professional then you will be supported to develop further and work in a highly strategic area, looking to the future and assessing how priorities will be delivered through our people.
