Sheffield is a place like no other. As the birthplace of electronic music, the greenest city in the UK, and a major Core City of nearly 600,000 people with huge regional and national importance, we’ve pretty much got our own gravitational pull.
Our People Strategy articulates our ambition to be a place where true system leadership is everyday, and everywhere. Where colleagues at all levels collaborate across boundaries, to deliver genuinely shared outcomes that make a difference in our communities. Where our whole workforce has the confidence to lead and influence in complex environments, and where we are distinguished by collaboration, adaptability, and a focus on local needs across our city.
Delivering this sophisticated strategic vision will allow us to play our full part in navigating and shaping complex, locally driven priorities and partnerships. So, this role is mission‑critical for the success of our entire transformation agenda.
You’ll take the lead on strengthening leadership and management capability and make sure we hold people considerations at the core of corporate decision‑making. Working directly with the CEO, COO, SLT, elected members and our trade unions, you’ll bring together culture, leadership, workforce reform and organisational performance.
It’s an exceptional opportunity to lead a high‑impact people agenda in a major UK Core City, and you’ll be joining us at a key inflection point, where your professional contribution will shape how an organisation of nearly 9,000 people performs and evolves for a generation.
