Creating a modern workplace which enables employees through the use of systems will be a key outcome of the programme. As a result, they are looking to recruit a number of roles that will be integral to delivering this programme of work over the coming years. The Head of Talent Acquisition will play a key part in their future growth and talent strategy.


Introducing Jodie Coe: People and Change Director;


I joined the business in May 2022 in my time so far it is clear that the organisation is built on a bedrock of having a strong ownership culture, setting ourselves high standards and having an unwavering focus on delivering quality for our customers. In People and Change, we are successful at all of that by working as a team and this role will be the final piece of the puzzle as I complete the formation of my senior team. This means that our priorities shift and flex to deliver our long-term plans whilst being agile to the opportunities a diverse business like ours creates.


This role will be at the front and centre of delivering high quality plans for talent acquisition, bring creative insight into how to recruit effectively across a diverse talent profile and set the standard for being the best at what we do.


The successful person in this role will need to be tenacious, naturally want to take personal ownership, have the courage to challenge and offer an opinion whilst building and maintaining positive relationships.


We are building something great in People and Change but we have loads of work to do to get us to where we want to be so you will need to be comfortable in getting into the detail as well as feeling challenging the status quo and pushing the boundaries on how we do things.
