HR Change Consultant in Swindon

As a HR Change Consultant (Partnering and Change Consultant), you’ll support a variety of People related work packages providing consultative oversight and guidance to the business. You will support several People Change activities helping us integrate and grow through careful data and complex process management. You’ll also get involved in investigating and responding to escalated AskHR queries linked to the NBS policy suite and employee terms and conditions. You will gather and use people data producing insights to support business decision-making. This is a hugely varied role for a true HR generalist with strong data skills and excellent attention to detail.

This role sits within the People Function, which is responsible for enabling our Society blueprint through key People-focused enablers, including a focus on culture and capability, and managing how we transform our organisation, doing the right thing in the right way with our ethic of care. We are happy to consider flexible working approaches to help you perform at your best. The working hours (per week) for this role can be between 30 and 35 hours. This is a 12-month Fixed Term Contract opportunity. At Nationwide, we offer hybrid working wherever possible. More rewarding relationships are supported through our hybrid approach, bringing colleagues together across our UK-wide estate, whilst also supporting generous access to home working.

You will work as part of a squad alongside our People Partners and Senior People Partners to deliver transformational People Change. We always manage Change with a strong ethic of care regardless of its size and complexity. You’ll be producing insight by gathering data and producing insights on the findings (e.g. absence, planned leave, working patterns, I&D, spans and layers) to inform business decisions and workforce planning. Additionally, you will support consultation activity such as tracking people data, consultation forms and managing change queries in line with business needs so we can service our customers effectively.

As a minimum requirement, you'll have/be:

• Strong planning and organisational skills with significant experience of managing and prioritising workload to tight deadlines.
• Excellent attention to detail.
• Comfortable sourcing, managing and maintaining sensitive data through Excel and PeopleCloud.
• Experience supporting and ideally advising on People Change activity with experience in other People Function or Change Delivery teams.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills with the ability to partner key stakeholders.
• The ability to logically evaluate and apply judgement to situations, overcome challenges and provide solutions at pace.

Our customer first behaviours put customers and members at the heart of how we work together. They are the set of behaviours that every colleague needs to display, in every role:

• Feel what customers feel - We step into our customers’ shoes, using their feedback and insights to empathise with them and to understand their needs.
• Say it straight - We are brave in speaking out and saying what we think – we’re honest and direct with good intent.
• Push for better - We don’t settle for mediocrity, we challenge the status quo, taking responsibility for continuous improvement and personal development.
• Get it done - We prioritise what will have the greatest impact, we are decisive, and we take accountability for delivering brilliant customer outcomes.
