You should work with your line manager to understand what their expectations are for you, your specific role and your team.

We’re here to build a network the UK can count on – one that connects people, places and potential.

• Lead employee engagement strategies, wellbeing programmes, culture‑building initiatives, employee listening efforts, and external recognition award submissions to bring to life our ambition of being #1 for People.
• Support the development of our cultural integration strategy and plans, using external best practice and internal insights to form recommendations.
• Lead programmes and campaigns that promote and embed our cultural pillars: Customer First, One Team and Unrivalled Pace.
• Collaborate with leaders to embed cultural pillars and behaviours into daily operations, ways of working and decision‑making.
• Support the development and activation of our EVP framework, continuously reviewing its effectiveness and identifying opportunities to further embed or enhance, as required.
• Champion employee wellbeing across physical, mental, social and financial pillars.
• Partner with internal stakeholders and external vendors to develop wellbeing programmes and resources.
• Foster a culture of wellbeing, ensuring people leaders promote and support wellbeing within their teams.
• Measure and report on wellbeing metrics and participation to demonstrate impact.
• Partner with HR Business Partners, Communications, DEI, Learning and senior leaders to align engagement and culture initiatives.

• Strategic thinker with a bias for action and execution – Essential.
• Strong project management skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities effectively – Essential.
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to influence at all levels – Essential.
• Proven experience in employee engagement, culture, wellbeing or HR‑related roles.
• Comfortable working with data and analytics to drive decision‑making.
