About the Role
A large, complex multi-site organisation is seeking a People Director to lead the next phase of its workforce, talent and employee experience strategy. This is a newly reshaped role with a mandate far broader than traditional HR.
The organisation has recognised that its future success will be driven by workforce capability, leadership strength and employee experience. As a result, this appointment will take ownership of workforce planning, rostering strategy, talent acquisition, leadership development, succession planning, employee engagement and employer brand across a significant national workforce.
A particular focus will be the creation of a Workforce Planning and Rostering Centre of Excellence, bringing greater consistency, visibility and long-term planning capability to a complex operational environment. Working closely with executive and operational leaders, you will help ensure that workforce demand, deployment, capability and future talent pipelines are aligned to organisational priorities and growth plans.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Requirements
This role would suit an experienced People Director, HR Director, Workforce Director or Talent leader who has operated within a large, dispersed and operationally intensive organisation.
Whilst healthcare experience would be valuable, we are equally interested in leaders from sectors where workforce planning, scheduling, deployment and organisational capability play a critical role in operational performance. This might include healthcare, social care, retail, transport, hospitality, logistics, outsourcing or other large-scale service environments.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
The successful candidate will bring experience of building organisational capability through workforce planning, talent and leadership development rather than simply leading traditional HR operations. They will be commercially minded, highly credible with senior stakeholders and able to translate strategic ambition into practical delivery.
About the Opportunity
This is an opportunity to shape the future workforce strategy of a major organisation and create a lasting impact on how it attracts, develops and retains talent.
