Director of People and Organisational Change

Here in Derbyshire, we’re embarking on an exciting journey. A journey to shape the future of our county and its communities. Our vision?

To be the best Council for our residents by delivering excellent services and transforming the way we work. To do this, we need leaders—exceptional leaders—who can join us in building a People and Organisational Change function that will empower our workforce of over 10,000 to reach new heights. We’ve made significant strides already, but there is still so much more to accomplish. 

Now, this is where you come in. We’re looking for a visionary HR leader. Someone who thrives on challenges and is ready to help us write Derbyshire’s next chapter. If you’re motivated by the chance to lead transformational change, to drive efficiency, to take services from good to outstanding—then we want to hear from you. Our Council provides a wide array of services—education, social care, infrastructure— and we need a leader who can navigate this complexity. A leader who can inspire a culture of excellence and innovation. 

As our new Director of People and Organisational Change, you will play a pivotal role. You will modernise, streamline, and help us build a skilled, diverse, and inclusive workforce—one that truly reflects the communities we serve. Your legacy will be one of meaningful impact. You will create a sustainable future for Derbyshire through strategic leadership, through a commitment to delivering outstanding services. And in return, you’ll find opportunity. Opportunity for personal and professional growth, with the full support of a council that is truly dedicated to investing in its people and their potential. This is your chance to make your mark in a county on the rise.
