Are you passionate about helping people embrace change?
At Aster Group, we believe change succeeds when it’s inclusive, insight-driven, and focused on people. We’re looking for a Senior Change Specialist to lead the delivery of change that empowers colleagues, improves experiences, and creates lasting impact.
This is your opportunity to shape how we manage change across the organisation. You’ll lead a team of change professionals, embedding best practice and ensuring every initiative supports our values and strategic priorities.

Your work will touch lives, helping colleagues and customers navigate change with confidence and clarity. In this role, you’ll:

- Champion engagement, working with cross-functional teams to co-design communication and training plans.
- Embed insight, using impact and readiness assessments to guide planning.
- Drive adoption, ensuring change is inclusive, sustainable, and aligned with organisational values.
- Inspire and develop others, managing Change Specialists and Continuous Improvement Specialists.

You’re a natural influencer with a passion for making change work for people. You’ll bring:
- Significant experience leading or supporting change and transformation initiatives.
- Strong knowledge of change management principles, methodologies, and tools.
- Excellent stakeholder engagement and communication skills.
- Experience in continuous improvement or process redesign.
- Proven line management and team development experience.

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.
This is a hybrid role, enabling you to work from home. The team do come together on a regular basis and there will be the need to attend workshops on projects you are aligned with, so being able to travel within our operating region is a must.
