Job description

AXA is embarking on its most radical and ambitious change programme in the history of its Healthcare business. Driven by a changing UK health landscape, the growth in the (preventative) Wellbeing sector, and the need for radical simplification, we're uniting several businesses internally to produce a stronger offering than ever before.

Our mission is to ‘empower people to be the best version of themselves’ with a wide range of new, market leading, app-based wellbeing and integrated medical (insurance) services. Underneath the surface of our transformation, we want to offer an efficient yet empathetic service through intuitive customer-led navigation, ensuring a personalised offering where our customers want and need it most.

We’re searching for experienced Change Practitioners to join us on either a 6 or 12 month fixed term contract and help us make this happen. Reporting to the Change Practice Lead, you’ll formulate, scope, and deliver change management and business readiness activities to ensure the successful adoption of change to maximise benefit realisation. This is a very exciting time to join our business and help employees and members experience new ways of doing things and be a part of driving this success.

At AXA we work smart, empowering our people to balance their time between home and the office in a way that works best for them, their team and our customers. You'll work at least two days a week (40%) away from home, moving to three days a week (60%) in the future. Away from home means either attendance at one of our office locations, visiting clients or attending industry events.

What you’ll be doing:

• Accountability for leading the delivery of end-end business change management plans and activities across the project or programmes to maximise employee adoption and enable delivery of benefits
• Responsibility for defining tailored business change management approaches and frameworks
• Partnering with sponsors and delivery teams to ensure change management plans are integrated within delivery plans and stakeholders are aligned and advocates for the change
• Applying behavioural nudge tools and approaches to support individuals impacted by change to effectively transition through the change journey
• Working collaboratively with the business to ensure changes cause minimal disruption and that the business truly ‘pulls’ the change into the operations, providing coaching on change management to departmental managers to support effective change adoption
• Responsibility for ensuring a full change management assessment is undertaken and understood by leadership, including impacts on business processes, operational ways of working, employee adoption and readiness for change

Due to the number of applications we expect to receive for this role, we reserve the right to close this advert earlier than the listed closing date to ensure we’re able to effectively manage interest. Therefore, if you’re interested in joining us at AXA, please don’t hesitate to apply.

What you’ll bring:

• Strong experience in change management
• Ability to collaborate effectively with multi-disciplinary teams
• Proven experience in change impact analysis, change readiness assessment, culture change techniques, change network management, stakeholder and employee engagement and developing the case for change
• Excellent understanding of change management skills with experience of working in both a Waterfall and Agile environment
• Experience utilising continuous improvement approaches
• Excellent stakeholder management, influencing and organisation skills
• Ability to build effective relationships at all levels of the organisation
• Experience of change coaching and mentoring skills to enable sponsors and leaders to effectively fulfil their change management responsibilities

Internal candidates are encouraged to apply for this role as a secondment opportunity through the internal careers site.

As a precondition of employment for this role, you must be eligible and authorised to work in the United Kingdom.

What we offer:

At AXA UK, we’re appreciative of the people who work for us and our rewards package is reviewed regularly to reflect that. You can expect to receive:

• Competitive annual salary dependent on experience
• Discretionary company & performance-based bonus
• Contributory pension scheme (up to 12% employer contributions)
