You might already be in a 'Head of' role. Or you might be ready for your next step.
Either way, you’ll know how to turn big ideas into something that actually works in a real, complex organisation.
You’ll probably recognise yourself in this, if:
- You’ve led talent, learning or experience functions in a multi-site or customer-facing environment.
- You know how to balance strategy with delivery — and aren’t afraid to roll your sleeves up.
- You’re comfortable influencing at senior level, even when it means challenging the status quo.
- You use data and insight to make decisions, not just instinct.
- You care about creating inclusive environments where people feel they belong.
- You’ve built leadership capability frameworks or large-scale development programmes.
- You’re as comfortable in a workshop room as you are in a boardroom.
- You’re driven by one thing: helping people grow and perform at their best.
If you’re CIPD-qualified or hold another relevant professional qualification, great. If not, but you’ve got the experience — we still want to hear from you.
Why this role matters:
This role sits at the heart of our Purpose Beyond Profit 2030. Because when our colleagues thrive, our communities do too.
You’ll be shaping:
- How leaders lead
- How people grow
- How work feels, day-to-day
And ultimately, how we deliver on our purpose: bringing together ideas, energy and resources to make life better in our communities.
What you’ll get in return
Alongside the opportunity to shape something genuinely meaningful, you’ll get:
- 34 days annual leave, rising to 39 in line with service (plus bank holidays)
- Private medical insurance, underwritten by BUPA
- Pension scheme with up to 12% employer contribution
- Colleague discount across our family of businesses
- Annual discretionary bonus based on the achievement of your objectives
- Wellbeing support and community engagement opportunities
We’re also proud to be an Investors in People Platinum employer, which means we don’t just talk about development — we invest in it.
A final thought...
You’ve probably seen roles like this before.
But how many give you the space to truly shape the colleague experience across an entire organisation?
If you’re curious about what that could look like here... we’d love to talk.
