Head of People & Culture

Head of People & Culture

£64,350, Kidderminster

There couldn’t be a better time to take on this key management role at Community Housing. A new Chief Executive, a new Chair, and a new corporate plan all make this the ideal moment to take stock and refresh how we work, to ensure that we have the right structure, talent and objectives in place to deliver the very best on behalf of our customers. But we aren’t starting from scratch. We have a track record spanning more than 20 years, so we want to harness that knowledge and expertise as we look forward to the next two decades, and beyond.

As Head of People & Culture you’ll play a defining role shaping a modern, high achieving workforce that can deliver great outcomes for our communities. You’ll help to shape a rewarding and inclusive working environment, where a supportive culture and a commitment to ongoing professional development support our high expectations of what we can achieve. You’ll work closely with our leadership team to ensure that our organisational values are successfully embedded in what we do, and how we do it. You’ll bring a business focused approach to your work, leading cultural and operational change to ensure modern working practices underpin our approach, and that we can be confident we are making the very most of our most valuable resource. As well as leading on the development of our equality, diversity and inclusion strategy, you’ll also take the lead on our communication activities, promoting our brand and building our reputation with internal and external audiences.

We expect that you will already have experience of leading complex change, HR and OD projects at a senior level and that you can demonstrate how your contribution has led to improvements in business performance. You’ll have a clear understanding on how performance data can be utilised to inform workforce planning, and you should have hands-on experience of offering expert professional advice on complex issues, including restructuring, redundancy, and organisational change.
