A team player – able to bring the best out in and inspire the team and a genuine passion for working in a HR / People function in a complex and challenging sector.
Strong planning and performance / accountability management skills which translate into supporting the best People outcomes.
Ability to work at pace – balancing multiple projects, cases and priorities – recognising what is important and when it may be necessary to work over and above to achieve essential outcomes.

Why join us?

Be part of a forward-thinking (‘top 50’ – Complete University Guide 2027) university committed to innovation and inclusivity, delivering high impact across Suffolk and beyond
Be part of a talented and supportive People / HR team - shaping the future of the University of Suffolk workforce and our people approach to deliver positive people outcomes and a fit for purpose workforce.
