Wolverhampton 3-4 days a week \n \n We're partnering with a large, complex advanced engineering and manufacturing organisation to appoint an HR Business Partner supporting a significant operational business unit alongside several specialist functions. \n \n This isn't the type of HRBP role where you spend your days updating policies, forwarding emails or sitting on the sidelines giving advice from afar. \n \n You'll be embedded within the business. Part of leadership teams. Close to operational challenges. Trusted by managers when things get difficult. Involved in real people problems, organisational change, talent decisions and business critical projects. \n \n It's a role for someone who genuinely enjoys business partnering and wants to have a visible impact. \n \n The reality of the role \n The business is going through significant change and investment. \n There are major systems implementations underway, organisational design projects taking shape, critical skills shortages to solve, succession challenges to address and a growing demand for stronger leadership capability across the organisation. \n \n Some days you'll be coaching managers. \n \n Some days you'll be handling a complex grievance or dismissal case. \n \n Other days you'll be analysing workforce challenges, supporting recruitment of hard to find talent, helping shape organisational structures or contributing to business wide change initiatives. \n \n No two weeks look the same. \n \n The primary focus initially will be supporting a high performing operational division alongside a portfolio of corporate functions including areas such as IT, programmes, engineering and planning. You'll quickly become the go to person for leaders who need pragmatic, commercial and credible people support. \n \n What we're looking for \n The title isn't the important bit. \n You may already be an HR Business Partner. \n You might be a Senior HR Advisor, HR Manager or People Partner operating at HRBP level without officially carrying the title. \n \n What matters is that you're already doing many of the following: \n\n • Partnering with managers and leaders rather than purely providing administrative HR support.\n, • Managing employee relations cases with confidence, including disciplinary, grievance, performance, absence or restructuring activity.\n, • Influencing stakeholders and challenging appropriately when needed.\n, • Supporting talent reviews, succession planning or workforce planning discussions.\n, • Contributing to change initiatives, restructures or organisational improvement projects.\n, • Working within manufacturing, engineering, logistics, operational, retail or similarly fast-paced environments.\n\n \n You'll probably enjoy getting stuck into problems rather than waiting for someone else to solve them. \n You'll be comfortable operating where there isn't always a neat answer. \n You'll enjoy building trust and becoming part of a leadership team rather than sitting outside it. \n \n What will make you successful \n The people who thrive here tend to be: \n\n • Curious about how businesses actually work.\n, • Comfortable with ambiguity and frequent change.\n, • Strong communicators who can influence without creating conflict.\n, • Resilient enough to handle challenge and competing priorities.\n, • Collaborative and happy working across complicated organisational structures.\n, • Commercially minded and interested in how people decisions impact business performance.\n, • Driven to improve things rather than simply maintain them.\n\n \n Most importantly, you'll have the confidence to challenge senior stakeholders constructively when needed whilst still building strong relationships. \n \n What this role isn't \n This isn't a pure HR administration role. \n It isn't a policy writing role. \n It isn't a role for someone looking for a quiet stop-gap before the next opportunity. \n And it probably isn't right for someone who prefers to stay away from employee relations entirely. \n The reality is that some of the work is difficult. There are complex cases, demanding stakeholders and challenging projects. \n But that's also where the development comes from. \n \n Why join? \n The scale of the organisation means there is always something new to learn. \n HR Business Partners regularly move between different business areas, giving exposure to new leaders, different challenges and wider organisational experience. \n You'll work alongside a highly supportive HR team who genuinely collaborate and share knowledge. \n \n You'll gain exposure to large-scale change programmes, operational leadership teams, talent strategy, workforce planning and business-critical projects that many HR professionals simply don't get access to. \n \n If you're looking for an easy ride, this probably isn't the role for you. \n \n If you're looking for a role that will stretch you, build your capability and accelerate your HR career, we'd like to speak with you. \n \n If you're currently doing much of this already, even if your current title doesn't say "HR Business Partner", we'd encourage you to apply.

Join LGPS Central at a pivotal moment, where investment meets long-term impact. \n \n The Learning and Talent Manager will move learning from programme-led activity to a strategic enabler of organisational capability, culture and future skills, helping colleagues make an impact, unlock potential and build confidence for future success. \n \n The role will connect learning, skills and talent into an engaging colleague experience, strengthening learning journeys, internal mobility, succession and skills-based development. \n \n What you’ll be doing: \n Learning strategy, skills and capability development \n\n • Drive the learning, skills and capability agenda, translating the People Strategy into development that builds confidence, impact and future-ready capability.\n, • Partner with the Senior Leadership Team and people managers to identify current and future skills requirements, priority gaps and capability needs.\n, • Support a skills-based organisation through skills taxonomies, pathways, academies and development plans linked to performance, career growth and potential.\n, • Align learning and skills development with the culture programme, reinforcing the behaviours, mindsets and capabilities needed in a high-performing, values-led organisation.\n\n Learning journeys, content curation and learning culture \n\n • Create learning journeys for new starters, managers, future leaders and technical specialists.\n, • Integrate learning activities, resources and programmes into a coherent, inclusive offer aligned to business priorities.\n, • Curate practical content and promote continuous, collaborative learning in the flow of work.\n\n Learning platform ownership and digital enablement \n\n • Own and evolve the learning platform as an intuitive gateway to development and opportunity.\n, • Manage platform content, pathways, campaigns and engagement across mandatory, regulatory, technical, leadership and professional development.\n, • Use AI, automation and learning technology to improve adoption and personalised, accessible learning journeys.\n\n Talent management, succession and internal mobility \n\n • Shape talent approaches that create clearer pathways for growth, progression, promotion and future contribution.\n, • Coordinate succession planning and leadership pipeline activity for business-critical roles.\n, • Build internal mobility pathways through promotions, secondments, internal moves, stretch assignments, projects and mentoring.\n\n Leadership, people management and regulatory capability \n\n • Design practical leadership, people manager and future leader interventions that build confidence, accountability and the behaviours needed in a regulated organisation.\n, • Coordinate programme design, suppliers, communications, tracking and evaluation.\n, • Support the CPO to develop board skills and training programmes that strengthen governance capability and regulatory understanding.\n, • Support regulatory readiness, conduct, risk ownership, operational resilience and a values-led culture.\n\n Data, insight and continuous improvement \n\n • Develop learning and talent MI, dashboards and reporting to support evidence-based decisions.\n, • Use data, colleague feedback and manager insight to shape learning, development and talent outcomes.\n, • Evaluate impact on performance, retention, engagement, mobility and organisational capability.\n\n Project and stakeholder management \n\n • Lead or support People projects across skills, capability, learning, talent, succession, mobility and learning technology.\n, • Build strong relationships with leaders, managers, colleagues, providers and platform partners.\n, • Work with the People team to ensure skills, capability and pathways inform performance, progression and reward structures.\n, • Work across the People team to join up learning, talent, performance, reward, recruitment and employee experience activity\n\n \n About Us \n LGPS Central (LGPSC) Ltd is the FCA regulated asset manager for fourteen local authority pension funds across the Midlands.
