We are seeking an experienced People Change Partner to join our small and supportive team. Working alongside our People Partners, offering a real opportunity to translate business strategy into practical and sustainable organisational outcomes, which contribute to the University's future success.

- Level 5 HR qualification or equivalent professional experience.
- Recent and relevant experience of leading and delivering complex organisational and people change programmes.

- Excellent stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence, challenge and support leaders at all levels.
- Experience of working constructively with Trade Unions and employee representatives through periods of change.
- Resilience, empathy and sound judgement when supporting leaders and employees through complex and often sensitive organisational change.
