Poole, Poole, United Kingdom RNLI Full time

Regional People Lead - South East England - Temporary (up to 12 months)

Salary: £49,492 - £58,226 (dependent on experience)

Contract Type: Temporary: Fixed Term Contract or Secondment

Hours: Full Time

Location: Poole, Dorset, England

About Us

Our mission is straightforward: to save lives at sea. Since the 19th century, our teams have bravely risked their lives to rescue those in peril of drowning.

This is an excellent opportunity to join the RNLI People Team for a 12-month maternity cover, providing HR and volunteer services across six RNLI regions. With a workforce of 1,850 employees and approximately 30,000 volunteers, the challenge is significant.

Based in Poole, you will report directly to the Regional Head and become an integral part of the local leadership team. As a peer to the regional team, you will need to confidently navigate the regional challenges and opportunities beyond just People matters, in order to inspire, coach, and drive success within the region. You will also have an indirect reporting line to the People Director, ensuring national policy and practice consistency while addressing regional needs.

Your work will primarily take place in Poole, with 2-3 days in the office and 1 day working from home. Additionally, you will be expected to spend 1 day per week at a lifeboat station or fundraising center, depending on organizational needs.

You will receive support from a People Adviser and a Volunteer Advisor embedded in the South East Region, along with a large administrative team based in Poole. Given that much of your work involves both valued employees and dedicated volunteers, your ability to provide exceptional service to all stakeholders is essential. Success in this role will mean taking full ownership of all matters rather than merely signposting issues to completion.

Benefits Include:

  • Salary: £49,492 - £55,000 (dependent on experience)
  • Flexible working arrangements
  • 26 days of annual leave plus Bank Holidays
  • Outstanding pension scheme with contributions of up to 16% of basic salary
  • Life assurance coverage
  • Health and dental cash plan options

Your Role

As the Regional People Lead, you will ensure exceptional HR business partnering within your region, supported by central subject matter experts in areas such as Pay and Reward, Learning and Development.
