HR Business Partner
The University has embarked on an ambitious agenda as a “Teaching Intensive, Research Informed” institution. Its recent achievements put the University in a good position to capitalise on the challenges and opportunities of the current Higher Education environment. With a workforce of c1000 staff supporting more than 11,000 learners it is therefore a very exciting time to join the University of Bolton Group as a generalist HR professional.
Due to a relocation in the team, we are seeking to recruit a commercially focused senior HR professional, reporting to the Chief People Officer, to provide high level professional HR consultancy advice and support to senior line managers across a portfolio of departments / subsidiaries. You will also work closely with the wider HR team to ensure the delivery of the HR strategy. As subject area champion for academic processes and job evaluation you will be responsible for leading on associated key projects.
To be effective in this role you will be adept at advising, coaching and supporting senior line managers on the full range of employee relations, resourcing, organisational change, organisational design (to include business process improvement), development and performance management matters.
The successful candidate will be degree educated (or similar) and hold CIPD status, able to demonstrate substantial achievement in generalist HR and employee relations work within a complex environment (not necessarily the HE sector) and will have exceptional communication and influencing skills. They will have a strong legal and technical HR knowledge and an analytical/strategic outlook to HR issues.
This represents a fantastic opportunity to make a real impact at both a strategic and operational level. For an informal discussion about the opportunity please feel free to contact Chris McClelland (Chief People Officer) via cm11@bolton.ac.uk
