Reporting directly to the Chief Executive, you will have the opportunity to work strategically and play a key part in leading the Council as well as providing inspiring professional leadership across People Strategy and Policy, Organisational Design and Development, Resourcing and Recruitment, Learning and Development, Health, Safety and Wellbeing and Equality, Diversity and Inclusion as our Head of Profession for HR.
