People & Change Adviser

This role will be based on the university campus with scope for it to be undertaken in a hybrid manner. We are also open to discussing flexible working arrangements.

Are you interested in developing your change consulting skill-set to support the delivery of complex change across a variety of service areas? Are you interested in bringing your experience of service-based change and continuous improvement to promote a people-centred approach to change in one of the largest higher education institutions in the UK?

The University of Leeds is currently progressing a significant amount of transformational change across the University. We are looking to recruit a People & Change Adviser to join our highly collaborative and supportive People & Change team to support a varied portfolio of change initiatives. This is an exciting opportunity to get involved in a range of activities from scoping changes, understanding the change impacts and developing solutions to address these, through to planning, measuring and supporting change implementation.

You would also form part of a network across the University, of change practitioners focused on building change capability within the organisation, employing an institutionally adopted people-centred change management approach to support the University’s change agenda. Within this collaborative network, you would be encouraged to bring examples of good practice, contribute your ideas to different change scenarios and also share your knowledge and learning.

We are looking for candidates with experience and interest in Change Management and strong stakeholder management skills as you will be collaborating with colleagues across a range of disciplines to develop solutions that ensure change is delivered successfully. Successful candidates will really care about putting people considerations at the centre of organisational change.  They will also have capabilities in relationship building, facilitation and coaching.
