Help People Embrace Change with Confidence
Do you want to make change easier for people?
At Aster Group, we believe change succeeds when it’s inclusive, collaborative, and focused on real needs. We’re looking for a Change Specialist to help deliver change that improves experiences for colleagues and customers.
This is your chance to play a key role in shaping how change is adopted across the organisation. You’ll work closely with project teams, stakeholders, and the People team to embed best practice and ensure every initiative supports our values and strategic priorities.
Why this role matters
Your work will help colleagues and customers feel supported and ready for change. In this role, you’ll:
* Support project delivery, applying structured change management approaches.
* Champion collaboration, working with teams to improve processes and ways of working.
* Enable adoption, through training, planning, and user-focused support.
* Use insight to guide decisions, conducting impact and readiness assessments.
* Act as a connector, bridging project teams, IT, and operations for smooth delivery.
What we’re looking for
You’re proactive, collaborative, and passionate about making change work for people. You’ll bring:
* Experience supporting change or transformation projects in a fast-paced environment.
* Understanding of change management principles and tools.
* Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
* Good analytical and problem-solving abilities.
* Ability to manage multiple priorities and adapt to evolving needs.
This role is a hybrid role which means you'll be able to base yourself from home if you wish. Travel will be required to meet with stakeholders and customers, attend meetings and work with the team so being happy to travel within our operating region is important.
Our operating region includes Hampshire, Wiltshire, Somerset, Dorset, Devon, Cornwall and London.
Introduction to the PMO
The Portfolio Management Office is a newly formed strategic function designed to evolve our Group-wide approach to change delivery. It provides a holistic view of all change activity, ensuring initiatives are prioritised, sequenced, and resourced in line with organisational capacity.
Working closely with stakeholders across the organisation, the PMO aligns plans with corporate strategy and strategic priorities, supports effective decision-making, and ensures value for money. By embedding consistent frameworks, standards, and governance, the PMO enables high-quality delivery across the change portfolio and drives continuous improvement.
