The purpose of this new role is to develop and implement the PROSCI change management methodology/approach and plans that maximise employee adoption and usage while minimising resistance.

You will have significant experience of working on complex projects to enable the positive adoption of change by employees and stakeholders.

You will have a lot of scope to bring in your own ideas and will be expected to use your own initiative with minimal supervision. Influencing, and managing challenging situations are important skills in this role as is the ability to communicate with employees at all levels. This post can be undertaken on a home working basis. You would be expected to travel to internal customer/team meetings or events as required.
