Job description

Overview

We\'re sharing this opportunity across a number of job boards and in different locations to reach as many potential applicants as possible. At HCRG Care Group, we believe our people are at the heart of delivering excellent care and driving sustainable change. We\'re proud to deliver vital health and care services across the country, and we\'re looking for two exceptional Senior People & Culture Leads to join us at a pivotal time.

This is a unique opportunity to step into a role that combines the scope of a senior HR business partner with the influence to shape culture and capability across diverse services. You will work closely with our Regional Directors - building trusted partnerships, embedding recent transformation programmes, and helping managers develop the skills and confidence they need to deliver consistently high-performing services.

No two days will look the same. One week you might be in Surrey, supporting leaders in our prison healthcare services; the next in Essex, helping managers make the link between absence management, agency use, and service performance. You\'ll also play a key role in shaping the people strategy for our sexual health services, including the integration of SH24. Although the role is remote-based, it will require regular travel and visibility across the regions. You will thrive on variety, enjoy being out in services, and know that real cultural change happens when leaders are supported, present, and accountable.
