About Birmingham City University

At Birmingham City University, we are a diverse and inclusive learning community of over 31,400 students from more than 120 countries. We aim to become an exemplar anchor institution, creating and sharing knowledge for a better and more inclusive society. We are committed to providing a transformational educational experience, supporting world-class research, and fostering a collaborative and supportive working environment for our staff.

Recognised as one of the UK’s Top 250 employers (Financial Times & Statista), we pride ourselves on being a place where colleagues feel valued, supported, and able to grow their careers while contributing to the success of our students and communities.

Our student demographic reflects the rich cultural and ethnic diversity of Birmingham itself, with a significant proportion of students from minoritised ethnic backgrounds and the majority of our home students coming from the West Midlands. This diversity is a strength, and it calls for a workforce that is equipped to challenge deficit narratives and thinking — those assumptions that position students from underrepresented groups as lacking rather than recognising their assets, strengths and potential.

By embracing this perspective, we aim to create an environment where all students and colleagues can thrive, and where our work contributes positively to the social, cultural and economic life of Birmingham and beyond.

Role Summary

We are seeking a Strategic People Partner to join our People Partnering Team, supporting the delivery of high-quality services across the University.

Reporting to the Head of People Partnering, you will play a pivotal role in shaping and supporting a culture of continuous improvement across the University. Working as an integral member of the Senior People Partnering Team, you will proactively identify, plan, and meet workforce needs through a coaching and facilitative approach, directly contributing to the delivery of the University’s strategic objectives.

You will be an experienced Strategic People Partner with a genuine passion for people, service excellence, and transformational change. With a strong grasp of the full range of people management practices, you will bring a holistic understanding of the business partnering function and the processes and policies that underpin effective and strategic people engagement.

You will have:

Proven experience advising and consulting with senior leaders.
Excellent people management and relationship-building skills.
The confidence and communication skills to influence, challenge, and support senior stakeholders.
A creative mindset, seeing opportunities in every challenge.
A collaborative, open and honest approach that builds trust.
The courage to offer high challenge and high support, always aligned with the University’s values and mission.

Key Responsibilities

Partner with senior leaders to provide strategic People & Culture advice, supporting organisational priorities, workforce planning, and change initiatives.
Lead the development and implementation of People & Culture policies, strategies, and projects, ensuring compliance with employment legislation and best practice.
Build strong relationships with Schools, Departments, and staff representatives to deliver effective people solutions and enhance stakeholder engagement.
Coach, influence, and develop managers to build confidence and capability in leading and managing people.
Drive continuous improvement by using HR data, KPIs, and workforce insights to inform decision-making and enhance service delivery.
Promote the University's values by supporting fair, inclusive, and evidence-based People & Culture practices that reflect the University's legal and regulatory responsibilities.

Essential Requirements

Degree-level qualification (or equivalent) and Chartered MCIPD status (or working towards Chartered membership).
Significant experience as an HR/People Business Partner, providing strategic advice and support to senior leaders.
Demonstrable experience of leading complex employee relations casework and applying employment law in a pragmatic, solutions-focused way.
Experience of developing and implementing people strategies, workforce plans, HR policies, or organisational change initiatives.
Strong influencing, coaching, and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to build trusted relationships and support effective decision-making.
Experience of leading or developing HR teams, projects, or specialist areas of HR practice.
Excellent communication, presentation, and facilitation skills, with the ability to deliver training and engage a wide range of audiences.
Strong analytical and organisational skills, with experience of using HR systems and workforce data to inform decision-making and drive continuous improvement.

Desirable Requirements

Qualified Coach/Mentor.
Substantial experience in designing workforce strategies.
