Offer description

Senior People Partner

We are seeking an experienced Senior People Partner to join our People Team! This is a high impact strategic HR role that is focused on organisational development, talent, culture, and transformation.

You'll work closely with senior leaders to shape a HR Centre of Excellence, delivering people-focused, value-driven solutions aligned with business objectives. While strategically focused, this is also a hands-on role, requiring someone who’s ready to roll up their sleeves, lead from the front, and establish HR as a true strategic partner.

You will be working on a hybrid basis with a mix of home and office. We're flexible about where you might be based to undertake this role, but you'll need to be able to travel to our London office (EC1) 2 days per week.

City & Guilds are a Disability confident employer. Please let us know if you require any support/adjustments at your interview and if successful any adjustments needed to support you in your role. If this is required, please email; careers@cityandguilds.com

This appointment will be made on merit.

We believe that diversity and inclusion strengthen and enriches us, and that it is the responsibility of everyone at City & Guilds to drive this value. As ethnic minority groups and disabled people are currently under-represented, we particularly encourage and welcome applications from these communities.
