People Partnership Lead

Job summary

Please note: We're sharing this opportunity across a number of job boards and in different locations to reach as many potential applicants as possible. However, this is one single position - so wherever you see it, its the same great role.

At HCRG Care Group, we change lives by transforming health and care. With over 7,500 colleagues delivering services across England, how we partner with our people and stakeholders is critical to delivering safe, effective, and sustainable services.

We are now looking for a People Partnership Lead to play a pivotal strategic role in shaping how we collaborate with internal and external stakeholders, including trade unions and colleague representative groups.

This is a12-month fixed-term role. While the role can be remote-based, it will require regular travel and in-person visibility across the Bath & North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire (BSW) region.

This is not a traditional HR role. It sits at the heart of our employee collaboration framework, driving a progressive employment relations culture, enabling organisational change, and ensuring that colleague voice is meaningfully embedded into decision-making.

You will act as a trusted senior advisor, building strong, constructive relationships, navigating complex conversations, and ensuring that partnership working supports both colleague wellbeing and operational excellence.

Main duties of the job

• Act as a strategic partner to senior leaders across the BSW region, building trusted relationships and ensuring effective stakeholder engagement.
• Develop and embed partnership frameworks and ways of working that balance colleague voice with organisational priorities.
• Lead and facilitate partnership forums, consultation, and engagement activity, ensuring open, transparent, and constructive dialogue.
• Work closely with the Employee Relations team to support organisational change, ensuring a consistent and joined-up approach to consultation and communication.
• Use insight from colleague voice, stakeholder engagement, and data to identify themes, influence decisions, and shape partnership outcomes.
• Champion a positive partnership culture, strengthening leadership capability and promoting inclusive, values-driven ways of working.
