About this role
You will be able to find a full Job description and Person Specification attached within the supporting documents. Working with Executive Directors and senior leadership teams, youll provide senior People & OD advice, coaching and constructive challenge. A significant part of the role will be helping leaders navigate organisational change, including service change, organisation and role design, restructuring, skill mix and new ways of working. Alongside this, youll: translate organisational priorities into practical workforce and organisational plans; help leaders think ahead about workforce capacity, capability and future requirements; use workforce data and insight to support decisions and identify where action is needed; help navigate complex and sensitive people issues; support culture, leadership, engagement and team effectiveness; work constructively with Trade Unions and staff representatives; connect leaders with expertise across People & OD and other functions; and use evidence and insight to understand whats working and where we need to do something differently Already working in the NHS? This could be a really good opportunity to broadening your experience, working closely with senior leaders and contributing during an important period for the organisation. We particularly welcome applications from existing NHS colleagues interested in joining us on secondment, subject to agreement with your current employer. Coming from outside the NHS? Wed like to hear from you too. NHS experience is helpful, but it isnt essential. If youve worked at a senior People/HR/OD level in another organisation, have recent experience of organisational change and can build credibility quickly, your experience could translate well. Experience of working in a complex, unionised environment will be particularly useful. Youll need to get to grips with Public Health Wales and the NHS Wales context quickly, but were equally interested in the different experience and perspective you could bring.
