Are you passionate about helping people navigate change and making sure new ways of working genuinely stick?
We're looking for Business Change Partners to provide specialist expertise across projects and change initiatives at Midland Heart.
About The Role
Successful change is about more than delivering a new system, process or structure. You'll focus on the people and organisational impact of change, ensuring colleagues and stakeholders understand what is changing, are prepared for transition and are supported to adopt new ways of working.
You'll work alongside Project Delivery Managers, Business Analysts and stakeholders to help ensure change is successfully adopted, embedded and delivers sustainable outcomes for Midland Heart and our tenants. You'll be joining a newly established dedicated Business Change capability within our Programmes and Project Delivery function.
What will you be doing?
As Business Change Partner, you will:
- Lead Business Change activity across assigned projects and initiatives.
- Conduct stakeholder analysis and business impact assessments.
- Develop Business Change and stakeholder engagement plans.
- Assess and monitor business readiness, engagement and adoption, identifying where intervention is required to support sustainable outcomes.
- Identify barriers and resistance to change and develop appropriate interventions.
- Identify learning requirements and coordinate activity with Learning & Development.
- Establish and support Change Champion networks.
- Develop transition plans and support mobilisation, go-live and embedding.
- Provide specialist Business Change advice and contribute to improving organisational change frameworks and tools.
