As Director of People & Culture, you'll be a key member of the Executive Leadership Team, responsible for developing and executing a people strategy that supports growth, fosters a values-led culture, and attracts, retains, and develops top talent.

Offering a unique opportunity to lead culture and people strategy at a senior level, with a collaborative executive team, competitive salary, private medical cover, and car allowance. Make a lasting impact on healthcare and staff experience across Ireland.
