About the role

Working as part of our Organisational Development team, you will provide expertise, leadership and advice on a range of tools and techniques designed to enhance organisational effectiveness through cultural change, building on organisational capability and capacity through people.

You will lead on projects and a range of development interventions, from initial contact through to the evaluation phase, contributing as an OD expert within project streams of larger, more complex programmes of work.

About you

The successful candidate will have extensive experience of a variety of organisational development and learning and development initiatives and interventions, from consultation through to research, design, development, delivery, and evaluation. Identifying and implementing change initiatives linked to cultural and organisational change, ideally gained within a complex organisation, will be a key strength.

With knowledge of approaches to organisational development linked to cultural and organisational changes, and building and developing leadership and management capability, you will be able to think understand, synthesise and identify potential solutions via consultancy skills and consideration of the strategic context, people, change and desired outcomes.
