Job Description

We've been providing quality, affordable homes across the Midlands for more than a century. But our eyes are firmly on the future. Our ambitious new corporate plan, Tenants at Heart , sets out how we will deliver homes fit for modern living, provide quality services with real local impact, and bring colleagues together as one team working for our tenants. We know that achieving this vision takes more than bricks and mortar. It takes a skilled, motivated and empowered workforce, led by capable leaders who bring out the best in their teams.

Partner with senior managers to shape and deliver workforce strategies.



Play a pivotal role in strategic workforce planning, helping leaders anticipate future needs, design agile structures and build resilience.



Build leadership and management capability through coaching, challenge and development.



Provide expert guidance on employee relations, organisational change and transformation.



Lead on talent planning, succession management and building a culture of continuous development.



Ensure people strategies directly support the delivery of Tenants at Heart .



About You? We're looking for an HR professional with the confidence, insight and credibility to influence at a senior level. You will bring:



Level 7 CIPD recognised qualification (or equivalent experience) with strong generalist HR knowledge.



Significant experience of delivering a successful HR business partnering service.



Proven ability to coach and support leaders, building capability and confidence.

A data-driven mindset, with the ability to translate insight into action.

Influence change at scale in one of the UK's leading housing associations.



Shape the future workforce needed to deliver our ambitious Tenants at Heart plan.



Join an organisation recognised as one of the Sunday Times Top 100 Best Places to Work .



Work with colleagues who are passionate, inclusive and professional -- living our Midland Heart Mindset every day.
