What is the role?
We're looking for a proactive and innovative professional to join our Business Improvement team. This role is at the heart of driving positive change across Hafod, helping teams work more efficiently, improve customer outcomes and deliver our strategic objectives.
Make a difference every day as a Business Improvement Partner at Hafod.
- Working closely with colleagues, managers and senior leaders, you'll identify opportunities for improvement, redesign processes, analyse data and support transformational projects that make a real difference to our customers and communities.
- You'll act as a trusted partner, bringing specialist expertise in continuous improvement, business analysis and business intelligence to help turn ideas into reality.
This is a permanent 36 hours full-time vacancy with an option to work a 9-day fortnight. This role offers the opportunity for hybrid working, with our Business Improvement team primarily based at our Head Office in Cardiff. Travel across Hafod services may be required as part of the role.
Because this role involves travelling independently across our sites and services, you'll need to hold a full, valid driving licence and have access to a vehicle and need appropriate insurance (for example business use).
If you’re unsure whether you can meet these requirements, please get in touch before applying and we’ll be happy to help.
