Associate Director - Human Resources, Learning & Development and Facilities

Ofqual regulates qualifications, exams and assessments in England. We’re here to secure the standards of qualifications, to promote confidence in them and to ensure that the system works well – that standards are maintained.

Reporting directly to the Chief Operating Officer, you will be responsible for leading and inspiring the HR team to deliver and continuously improve to meet the future needs of the business. 

You will be accountable for ensuring the effective delivery of the Ofqual People Strategy as well as delivering HR services to the business.  

You will work closely with the Senior Management Group, the Leadership team and the Regulatory and Corporate Services team to ensure that they are advised of their people accountabilities.

You will be FCIPD or MCIPD qualified, organised and have the ability to work flexibly and pragmatically as well as driving strategy. 

We are looking for someone who has broad generalist HR skills, with a demonstrable track record of developing and implementing HR initiatives to support organisational strategy and will also need to be happy to be ‘hands-on’ when the need arises.

You will have extensive experience of working in a senior manager role, developing HR strategy and be confident in senior stakeholder management.

You’ll also have experience of leading and driving change programmes with strong interpersonal skills that enable you to influence and persuade stakeholders to do the right thing.
