Job Description

What can we tell you about this fascinating business?

You will be working with a group of bright and naturally inquisitive colleagues that genuinely love what they do. This opportunity is not a tough sell by any stretch.

Despite the challenging year we have all faced, this business is growing and achieving great things.

You will be helping to shape how the HR & talent agenda is delivered in a business where there is a massive amount of buy-in from the top of the business.

What will be keeping you busy?

Partnering at all levels of the organisation (including leadership), you will help the HR Leader deliver the HR and talent agendas. You will work closely with key stakeholders and engage the business with new ways of working.

Most pressing, is the need to deliver a new appraisal system for the business and you will play a key part in delivering this by next April. The business has a fantastic workforce and a strong reputation. Because of this, other organisations tend to sniff around their employees.

Your focus will be on ensuring that the business selects the best people (working in partnership with the Recruitment Partner), retains them and develops them (working closely with the L&D Partner). You will help the business to offer clear career paths, development support and ensure that people are rewarded fairly to encourage employees to stay put.

You will oversee succession planning, resourcing planning, career and performance management initiatives and build on the work that they are already doing with high potential and high performing employees.

They are already doing some really good stuff but they do not have someone driving and embedding these initiatives across the business. This is why they have created this new role.

You will be able to spot trends by developing and monitoring key HR metrics and you will use these to support decision making and demonstrate a return on investment.
