More trust. Less crime. High standards is the Met’s mission. How we will start to deliver that is set out in our New Met for London plan - cutting crime through community crime fighting, building a culture based on the values of policing by consent, and organising and deploying our people better. Driving this reform requires change across all areas of the Met – but especially in the way our teams are organised and the way they function. To make this a reality we are recruiting for a HR Change Manager – a HR professional who can deliver people-based change activity, whilst providing guidance and support to business managers implementing change initiatives.
To join us, you will need a good working knowledge of HR services and an understanding of the legal context underpinning change activity – e.g. employment law, TUPE regulations and redundancy. Knowledge and experience of the policing environment would be useful, but not essential. More important are your abilities to build strong working relationships and communicate complex information in a clear and concise manner. You’ll also need confidence to raise risks, constructively challenge ideas, and negotiate solutions in a positive and supportive manner with business managers.
You will share our values of integrity; courage; accountability; respect and empathy, bringing them to life in how you work and using our principles to shape your decisions. You will also deliver specific continuous improvement activities across HR - ensuring our service offer to the wider Met is both efficient and effective.
Why join us? Besides the rewarding nature of the job itself and working for an organisation that makes a difference every day you will receive a competitive salary and a Civil Service pension. You will also benefit from excellent career and professional development.
Key responsibilities
On a day-to-day basis you will have four primary areas of responsibility:
- Implementation of agreed change strategies. Providing clarification on the impact of policy and process.
- Delivering change activity to support people-based projects, re-structures and re-organisations.
- Contribute to the development of policy, processes and products used to deliver people-based change activity.
- Deliver continuous improvement activity within the HR function – ensuring HR operations are effective, efficient and focused on the needs of the frontline user.
Scope for impact
Within your delegated area of responsibility, you will be responsible for implementing and delivering the people-based change elements of our major transformation projects – enabling new organisational units to be built, transforming existing units, whilst managing re-deployment efficiently and with empathy. You will work as part of a multi-disciplinary team with resources from within the Change team and across the wider HR directorate. Within these teams you will be expected to lead specific activities with full delivery accountability. Your work will be highly visible to senior operational leaders.
