Job description

Ever had to coach a manager through a tough conversation at 9am, then present workforce trends to the board by 3pm? At Lomond, our People Experience Partner does both. The role is offered on a flexible basis, split two days at our Troy Mills office in Horsforth, Leeds and two days across our branches in Yorkshire & Scotland, reporting to the Group People Director.

Lomond is one of the UK's largest & fastest growing property services groups, and growth like ours needs strong people foundations.
