Head of Human Resources and Organisational Development £85k

People are the pulse of our organisation.

Here at Hackney we're proud to have such a talented, committed and diverse workforce, and we are committed to creating the right environment for our staff to achieve their best and to deliver high quality outcomes for the people of Hackney.

Effective HR strategy and policy are fundamental to realising our ambitions. We want our new Head of HR & OD to be a visible and influential person within and beyond our organisation. You'll lead a customer centric service that focuses on outcomes and offers managers the right blend of practical operational support and strategic advice.

We expect that you'll be able to present a track record of HR & OD improvement within a similarly complex setting and that you have the personal gravitas to quickly establish confidence thoroughout our organisation, with elected members, officers and partner organisations.

Strong and compelling leadership will inspire renewed impetus within our HR & OD function and it's important that you understand the dynamics of service delivery in a diverse London borough.
