• One Team: You'll collaborate with colleagues across HR and other business functions to deliver meaningful outcomes on projects and continuous improvement initiatives. Whether it's refining processes or supporting the roll out of new tools or ways of working, your input will help drive outcomes and impact.
• Creating exceptional employee experiences: From onboarding to engagement and well-being, you'll play a key role in making sure our people feel supported and engaged. You'll help shape and deliver employee experiences that reflect our values and make Bridewell a great place to work.
• Championing and supporting people processes: You'll drive awareness and adoption of key people processes like performance reviews, engagement surveys, and internal events. You'll ensure these initiatives land well and add real value across your business area and beyond.
• Advocating tools and ways of working: You'll be a go-to expert for the systems and tools that underpin our people operations. You'll help people in your business area get the most out of them, helping managers understand the issues and challenges their team face better.
• Living Our Values: You'll embody and promote the values that are part of Bridewell's DNA and help keep our values at the forefront of our thinking.
