The Isle of Wight NHS Trust and Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust are undergoing an exciting transformation. By merging to form a Single Corporate Services Division, our goal is to streamline processes, improve employee experiences, and allocate more time for patient care.
We are seeking experienced professionals to join our team as Human Resources Business Partners (HRBPs). The ideal candidates will possess substantial NHS HR experience, particularly in managing employment relations issues that are complex and sensitive. You should also have experience in implementing cost improvement plans and providing guidance, coaching, and support to local leaders and managers in enhancing their people management and leadership abilities.
Main duties of the job
The HR & OD Business Partner role is a senior, prominent, and impactful position that is essential to the divisional senior management team. Its main purpose is to provide strategic direction in organisation development (OD) and workforce management, ensuring the delivery of compassionate, high-quality, and affordable patient care in a setting where staff can express concerns and foster improvements.
About us
Our vision for Single Corporate Services: Isle of Wight NHS Trust (IWT) and Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust (PHU) have a shared vision of a single corporate service across our two organisations, supported by a single set of identical systems and processes, under joint leadership, to drive significant efficiencies, improve employee experience, and return time to patient care.
This vacancy is part of the Single Corporate Services Division.
Why are we changing the way we deliver Corporate Services? Working as a partnership, both IWT and PHU have a shared vision for excellence in care for our patients and communities with a set of strategic aims underpinning how we will achieve this. The creation of a single corporate service is essential for us to support our clinical and operational services, and our wider transformation programme.
The single corporate service is delivered across both organisations. You may be based at either IWT or PHU and individuals may be required to undertake business travel between sites. For leaders managing staff across multi-site locations, you will need to be visible and provide in-person leadership. The arrangements and frequency will be agreed locally.
