This, newly refined role offers the opportunity to drive forward transformational change across the organisation, building confidence around the systems, structures and processes to support and ensure positive staff wellbeing. These are key leadership roles within a small team that has big ambitions to deliver ‘best in practice’ for all our staff. Minimum Requirements
