CIPD qualification, equivalent professional qualification or substantial relevant experience.

Why join us?

This is an opportunity to make a visible impact within a large and ambitious local authority. Whilst supporting managers with immediate employee relations challenges, you will also help shape longer-term workforce solutions, influence organisational design and use people insight to improve service delivery.

You'll join a collaborative HR & OD team where your expertise, ideas and professional judgement will be valued and where you can make a meaningful contribution to the future of our workforce and services.
