Overview
Joining Sainsbury's as a Stores People Partner means being part of a collaborative, future-focused People team committed to driving meaningful change across our store estate. You will play a key role in shaping how our people plans come to life in stores, ensuring consistency of execution and supporting leaders to build high-performing teams. With the opportunity to influence regional people strategy, support effective workforce planning, and continually improve the colleague experience, you'll be making a tangible impact every day.
As a Stores People Partner at Sainsbury's, you will be responsible for delivering consistent, high-quality execution of the people plan across all stores in your region, setting the standard for great people delivery under the leadership of the Regional People Partner. You will support workforce and talent and succession planning to ensure stores have the right people and skills in place, and use data, insight, and trends to identify risk stores, diagnose root causes, and agree targeted actions to improve performance, capability, absence, and engagement. You will review progress against people plans, work closely with store leadership teams to embed agreed actions, and carry out sampling and quality checks to ensure People products and processes are implemented consistently and effectively. Alongside this, you will lead the delivery of cyclical people activities – such as performance, engagement, talent and succession – and support people-impacting change projects, including transformation, by ensuring strong communication, clear expectations and operational readiness in stores.
