About This Role
This is an excellent opportunity to join our Reward team as a Reward Consultant, providing maternity cover within the wider Talent team in People Services.
You will play a key role in delivering our Reward strategy by supporting the development and implementation of reward and benefit schemes that help attract, retain and motivate our employees. You will also lead on the operational aspects of the University’s job design and evaluation activity, helping to ensure roles are designed and assessed fairly and consistently.
Reporting to the Reward Manager, you will work closely with colleagues across People Services and with project teams across the University on a range of reward, benefits, and job evaluation activities.
About You
You will need to demonstrate experience and knowledge in reward systems, policies, and practices. In particular, you will need to demonstrate:
- Strong planning and organizational skills with the ability to manage ambiguity and uncertainty and prioritize effectively within what can at times be a rapidly changing environment.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, capable of analyzing and interpreting data to inform decisions or provide solutions.
You don’t need to have experience of job design and job evaluation but we would expect you to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of principles. Project management experience would be an advantage as well as experience of using data and benchmarking survey platforms. You will be organized, collaborative, and able to manage competing priorities, while supporting an inclusive culture where everyone is treated with dignity and respect.
