Director of People & Culture
Norwood
Stanmore, London
c.£92k per annum
Norwood supports and empowers neurodiverse children, their families and people with neurodevelopmental disabilities to live their best lives. We work with local authorities to deliver a wide range of services, from residential and supported living accommodation and short-breaks facilities to a range of support groups aimed at the whole family, not just the individual. As the oldest Jewish charity in the UK, we are proud to have held Royal Patronage since 1815.
THE ROLE
As our Director of People and Culture, you will play a critical role on the senior leadership team, providing vision, direction, and strategy to ensure Norwood achieves its strategic priorities through a high quality People Strategy. You will guide and manage all aspects of employee engagement, from strategic planning through to operational delivery, ensuring we provide outstanding services, delivered by appropriately skilled, values driven and compassionate staff.
We are seeking a strategic thinker, comfortable working with both Senior Management and the Board, contributing both to organisational culture and the development of corporate strategy and policy underpinned by robust HR operations and governance. With excellent leadership and communication skills, you will foster a culture of collaboration across the organisation and support Norwood in attracting, retaining and developing high-calibre staff, to ensure the impact of our work.
Our work is vital in supporting thousands of people and their families to achieve more than they ever thought possible. Whilst Jewish communal values are at the heart of Norwood’s services, you need not be Jewish to join our team. Every new member of the team receives Jewish cultural training as part of their wider induction to ensure they feel supported, integrated, and aligned with our values.
