Can you build strong and collaborative relationships across organisations?
If so, then we would love for you to apply!
The DfTc HRBPs are part of the Deputy Director’s team that ensures the effective delivery of key services to the core Department through a professional business partnering function. They work alongside the provision of an expert service, for our Senior Civil Service (SCS) community throughout their employee lifecycle.
As one of three Senior HRBPs for the central department, your focus will be on managing a Director General Group business partnering portfolio with members of the HRBP team and working closely with our other Senior HRBPs to lead the wider team. You will also be expected to play a visible and active role across the whole HR community; working on cross-cutting functional and corporate issues and working closely with the Deputy Director to form a senior leadership team (SLT).
Your role as a Senior HRBP will focus on empowering the HRBPs under your line management to build strong working relationships with their Director General’s (DG’s) and their SLTs. You will work closely with your team to ensure you have visibility of key issues in each group, help knit together where there are cross-cutting issues and provide a point of escalation and strategic direction to resolve these issues in the spirit of continuous improvement.
Transformation is a key part of the role and affecting many parts of the department so you will be expected to confidently operate in a change management capacity; supporting Subject Matter Experts to deliver high profile transformation projects.
You will need to be able to confidently deploy organisational design and development techniques and interventions, as well as understanding when and how to draw in the expert function to support. This involves direct input to business planning processes from the start, and coaching and navigating groups to effectively plan for the workforce required to deliver their strategic objectives.
As well as working with key stakeholders across the business, you will also be a valued member of the HR directorate and need to collaborate with all the teams within.

Key accountabilities of the role include:
- Working closely with the other Senior HRBPs to lead and build capability across the HRBP team.

- Working with colleagues across HR to ensure the effective development, implementation and embedding of new HR strategies and interventions in the business.
- Provide strategic leadership for the development of complex organisational design, structures, and resource plans. We have a dedicated Organisation Design Expert Service embedded within the HR Directorate, you will have a key role in building links between their team and the HRBP team and working together on particularly substantial change programs in the department.
