Job description

Job Description

Are you an experienced Chief People Officer with experience working in the public sector?

I am working exclusively with an academic-focused government department on an initial 6-month temporary Chief People Officer position with the possibility of extension. The government department is looking to bring in a new specialist interim HR team to help the organisation through a busy and challenging time. One of the key HR vacancies is the Chief People Officer position. They are looking for someone who has a strong pillar in either Organisational Development or Learning and Development experience with a strong understanding of either Learning and Development or Organisational Development.

The role is an outcome focused position and would be a great fit for a Chief People Officer who has a strong background in culture change. The role will sit outside IR35, paying up to £1000 per day. They have offices in both London (Canary Wharf) and Swindon, and would like the post holder to be happy to attend either office 1-2 days per week.

The ideal candidate will have experience working for large organisations in both the public and private sectors. It would be very advantageous to have worked within central government previously.

My client, who has asked to be kept confidential at this stage, is keen to meet with highly experienced senior professionals who can come in and make an impact immediately. They would like someone who can start in the post by the end of May.
