More trust. Less crime. High standards is the Met's mission.

How we will start to deliver that is set out in our New Met for London plan - cutting crime through community crime fighting, building a culture based on the values of policing by consent, and organising and deploying our people better. Driving this reform requires change across all areas of the Met - but especially in the way our teams are organised and the way they function. To make this a reality we are recruiting for a HR Change Lead - an experienced HR professional who can deliver people-based change projects, whilst supporting business leaders to manage risk and employment issues.


To join us, you will need to be an experienced HR Practitioner with a successful record of managing people-based change. It is vital that you understand current employment legislation, and can make informed, risk-based decisions. Knowledge and experience of the policing environment would be useful, but not essential.


More important are your delivery and stakeholder management skills - which you will use to ensure change is delivered within agreed performance targets, whilst providing business leaders with professional advice and insight to support effective decision making. You will share our values of integrity; courage; accountability; respect and empathy, bringing them to life in how you work and using our principles to shape your decisions. You will also manage continuous improvement activities across HR - ensuring our service offer to the wider Met is both efficient and effective.


Why join us? Besides the rewarding nature of the job itself and working for an organisation that makes a difference every day you will receive a competitive salary and a Civil Service pension. You will also benefit from excellent career and professional development.

Key responsibilities

On a day-to-day basis you will have four primary areas of responsibility:

Manage the delivery and implementation of change strategies. Supporting business leaders to interpret policy, and providing them with timely and definitive guidance. Manage people-based change projects, re-structures and re-organisations to agreed performance targets. Delivering business objectives, maintaining legal compliance, managing industrial relations and managing risk appropriately. Focusing on the end-to-end process and ensuring displacement, and where required redundancy, is managed effectively and in line legislation. Manage the policy, processes and products used to deliver people-based change. Ensuring they fit for purpose, maintained and support both business and individuals. Manage continuous improvement projects within the HR function - ensuring HR operations are effective, efficient and focused on the needs of the frontline user.

Scope for impact

You will be responsible for managing and delivering key aspects of our major transformation projects - building new organisational units, transforming existing units, whilst managing re-deployment efficiently and with empathy. To do this you will manage multi-person, multi- disciplinary change teams - sized to meet the demands of the project - including resources from within the Change team, and wider HR. Your work will be highly visible to senior operational leaders, directors, and management board, and be a critical enabler to delivering our New Met for London plan.
