What you will do
Design and deliver high-impact inclusion interventions, ensuring they are developed in partnership with HR colleagues who lead other parts of the employee lifecycle, so that initiatives are joined up, practical, implemented effectively and evaluated for impact.
Lead on the organisations approach on EDI areas of the Employment Rights Act, including further enhancing our support around harassment.
Be a trusted EDI specialist who challenges constructively, providing pragmatic advice and solutions with consideration to organisational priorities and operational and commercial impact.
Lead on shaping, coordinating and reporting on the EDI strategy and priorities, maintaining oversight of progress, risks, compliance requirements and agreed actions.

Strong relationship-building and influencing skills, with the ability to work collaboratively across a wide range of stakeholders and teams.
