We are looking for an experienced People Business Partner to join our new senior leadership team on a temporary basis. As a key member of our People Directorate leadership team, you will work directly to the Deputy Chief People Officer.
You will be the key connection between our clinical and corporate services and the People Directorate, helping to bring our new workforce strategy to life.
You will work independently and strategically, acting as a trusted advisor to leaders and teams within your designated business areas, to anticipate workforce themes and risks and to co‑create appropriate plans and solutions that improve employee experience and support the Trust’s strategic aims.
