The post holder will also act as the strategic process owner for the Hire to retire part of our operation on behalf of the partnership, so should also carry significant Operational HR expertise to be able to facilitate process improvement in our transactional areas. Working closely with the Corporate HR senior management you will drive the teams forward to be seen as leaders in the HR shared service industry.

The way in which we go about our work is fundamentally important to us helping support the culture we want to achieve. As such we have developed an Orbis behaviour framework which describes practical action for ourselves and what we should experience from each other. Behaviours make the values real and as part of Orbis we aim to achieve all eight. For more information please see the attached document to this advert.
