Lewes, East Sussex, United Kingdom East Sussex County Council Full time

Do you want to make a real, positive difference to how people feel at work?

If you're passionate about wellbeing and enjoy working with data, people, and partners to get the best from our resources, this could be the role for you.

As our HR Consultant (Wellbeing & Contracts), you'll take the lead on embedding wellbeing across the Council — shaping initiatives, evaluating their impact, and ensuring staff have access to effective, inclusive support.

A key part of your role will be managing wellbeing supplier contracts — from monitoring performance and budgets to maintaining collaborative relationships that deliver real value for money. You'll work closely with managers, employees, and partners to make sure our wellbeing services remain responsive, high-quality, and aligned to the Council's People Strategy.

No two days are the same: one day you might be analysing data and feedback to improve a wellbeing offer; the next, you'll be meeting suppliers, resolving an issue, or launching a new campaign to support staff health and engagement.

We are looking for candidates who:

  • Work independently, balancing challenge with collaboration to secure good outcomes
  • Build strong relationships with suppliers, managers, and staff to ensure effective service delivery
  • Communicate clearly across digital and face-to-face channels
  • Use data, research, and feedback to drive improvement and innovation
  • Promote equality, diversity, and inclusion in all aspects of their work

Please download the Job Description and Person Specification for more information.

To apply for this role, please follow the 'Apply Now' button above and upload your CV and a Supporting Statement. We will be using your Supporting Statement to shortlist so please be sure to address how you meet all the criteria in the person specification, drawing on any relevant work/life experience, education, or personal interests.

For guidance on how to write an application see our how to apply page.

Interviews will take place in person at County Hall, Lewes on Monday 15 December. If you are unavailable on the date offered let us know and we may be able to schedule an alternative date to interview you.

Candidates who meet certain criteria are given priority when we shortlist. See our priority status page for details.

This role offers a unique blend of wellbeing leadership and hands-on contract management, giving you the autonomy to shape meaningful initiatives while ensuring our resources deliver real value. You'll work closely with supportive colleagues, collaborate with expert suppliers, and see the direct impact of your work on staff experience and organisational culture.

We offer a diverse range of benefits to help and support you during your employment. More information can be found on our benefits page .
