Strategic People Partner
We're looking for an exceptional Strategic People Partner to help shape the future of People & Culture at Ravensbourne University London during an exciting period of transformation and growth.
Across higher education and beyond, organisations are being challenged to think differently, work differently and embrace new possibilities. At Ravensbourne University London, we're responding with ambition, creativity and a bold vision for the future of work.
We're not simply recruiting into a vacancy. We're building a new People & Culture team that will shape organisational culture, influence strategic decision-making, support leaders through change and create exceptional experiences for our people.
This is a unique opportunity to join us at a transformational moment. With a new People Strategy, an evolving organisational vision and a commitment to putting people at the heart of everything we do, we're looking for experienced HR professionals who are ready to make a genuine impact.
As a Strategic People Partner, you'll work closely with senior leaders to drive organisational performance, lead change and deliver strategic people initiatives across the University.
