Love helping people navigate change with clarity and confidence? So do we. At Virgin Media O2, we're transforming - and we know that meaningful change doesn't happen to people, it happens with them. That's where you come in. We're looking for a Human Resources Change Partner to join us for a 12 month FTC, to be the trusted guide and expert voice in our people-led transformation journey. This isn't about tech systems or process tweaks - it's about the big shifts that shape our organisation: restructures, mergers, TUPE, and everything in between.
You'll partner with senior leaders and work in squads of cross-functional teams to design, deliver, and embed change that sticks - while keeping our people, values, and diversity front and centre. You'll lead from the front - mapping out impact, managing risk, and making sure every communication, consultation, and capability-building moment lands with clarity and care. Whilst shaping target operating models or delivering tactical change you will be building toolkits and dashboards that tell the story of change. You'll help us do change the right way: responsibly, sustainably, with empathy and in line with our policy and legislation. If you've got a sharp mind for organisational change, a steady head through ambiguity, and a heart for people - this is your moment!

Our ways of working
We're a flexible-first organisation, because we know people do their best work when they have choice and clarity.

What matters is making those moments purposeful, so when we come together, it really counts.
Accessible, inclusive and equitable for all

So, we build equity and inclusion into everything we do, from the policies we craft to the relationships we shape.
