About the role

We have high ambitions here at Surrey County Council – our aim is to be recognised, simply, as outstanding and we are in the midst of organisation wide transformation that will help us get there. The challenge is huge, the opportunities even greater.

We have completely re-designed and re-focused our HR&OD function, with a strong focus on modernising our organisation, culture and workforce – where individuals thrive and are able to perform at their very best.

A key member of the HR&OD leadership team, you will play a critical role leading the development and delivery of a dynamic approach to organisational effectiveness and development.

You will blend performance, employee experience and wellbeing, change, organisational design, leadership development, talent management and OD to truly impact upon critical capabilities and performance council-wide.

As a senior leader in HR&OD, developing a cohesive and integrated function that effectively delves into and resolves crucial challenges across the people agenda will be a key outcome.

Educated to post graduate level in an HR&OD related field or equivalent level, you will have experience of leading in a complex environment. You will have extensive knowledge and ability to apply behavioural science, OD theory, L&D, change leadership and organisational design. Being curious, adaptable, creative and resilient is key.

As a leader, you will inspire, motivate and coach both individuals and the team to think and act differently, be confident and focus on best fit solutions. Your high business acumen, collaborative approach and business consulting skills will enable you to truly partner with the organisation.
