This is a role where you can make a significant impact balancing innovation with compliance, and strategy with hands on leadership.

• Confident stakeholder engagement and excellent communication skills.
• Strong analytical skills to interpret data and influence decision making.
• A commitment to safeguarding, equality, diversity and inclusion.
• CIPD registration (or willingness to work towards it).
