In particular, you will implement HR systems, processes and practice that support the RCN's strategic aims and operational plans.

You will design, develop and implement solutions across the breadth of People & OD activity that address actions emanating from your insights, supporting your stakeholders to anticipate and respond to organisational issues.

Every day will be filled with possibilities as you find new ways to shape change and nurture the development of the business by delivering a robust and proactive People service.

As a senior member of the People Business Partnering Team, you'll line manage a People Adviser to oversee employment relations cases within your nominated business units.

We normally offer new employees the first point of the salary range, although you may be able to negotiate a higher starting salary depending on your skills, experience and current salary.

What we deliver for our members is wide and varied so when it comes to how we work one size doesn't fit all.

We also know that to empower our people to do their best work, they must be able to balance the demands of work and home.

We are a diverse organisation and understand everyone has different needs and many of our employees enjoy flexible working enabling them to deliver results whilst having a good work life balance.

Departments and directorates have their own hybrid ways of working which put the needs of the service they deliver - whether that's to members or to colleagues - at their heart, in alignment with our hybrid working core principles.

At the RCN it's unlikely you will work from home for all of your working time. Equally no one is expected to work solely in the office unless your role requires it. You can find out more by having a discussion with the recruiting manager.
