We are a small organisation with a significant responsibility for public money and the way it is spent.

As well as administering MPs’ business costs and expenses, we run the payroll for all MPs and their staff – over 3,000 individuals – and are responsible for setting MPs’ pay and pensions.

This is a very exciting time to be joining IPSA as Head of HR, with a major transformation programme coming to life we need someone who will be able to carry forward the work done to date and continue to embed change, partnering with senior stakeholders across the organisation, helping to build on their success.  There is still much to do including rolling out improved performance management processes to encourage a high performing culture, as well as working with colleagues representing MPs’ staff to continue to develop and improve how we work together.
