By promoting shared wealth through member ownership, we are committed to enable anyone in the UK to form, or join, thriving and sustainable co-ops.

As a great communicator, you will provide core HR support to Co-operatives UK, enabling the organisation and its employees to thrive through the effective provision of HR processes and practices.
