Head of Human Resources and Organisational Development

North West Leicestershire District Council
East Midlands
£64,241 to £74,525 (plus £4,500 car allowance)
Hackney

Like the National Forest that grows at the heart of the district, our work is rooted in the lives of the people we serve. We are proud to support and encourage our communities and businesses so that they are as healthy and prosperous as they can be. All across our district there are positive things to shout about, and the location of the East Midlands Airport and the Freeport in the borough are key drivers for growth.

THE ROLE

We also know how important it is for us to be a well-run and efficient council, where our staff can develop and grow and where our decision-making is clear and rigorous, and we are currently seeking a senior officer who will play a vital role in our future success. Our Head of Human Resources and Organisational Development will manage 14 staff, covering HR, OD, policy and performance, emergency planning, and health and safety.

Given the challenges facing all local authorities, we need our new Head of HR and OD to drive our workforce development agenda, supporting the council as we redesign services and drive efficiencies. You will champion our IIP gold aspirations and employee wellbeing at work and you will also play a key role in developing our culture as we reimagine how a local authority of the future will look and behave.

The role will report directly to the Chief Executive and provides a fantastic opportunity to work for one of the biggest and highest performing districts in the region.
