Job overview
This is an exciting opportunity to join the transformational programme to support EOC reconfiguration.
You will be joining the team at an early stage and will, in time, become the subject matter expert on the change process, hearing our employee voice and supporting managers to deliver this change.
Main duties of the job
The HR Business Partner will be embedded in either a Trust business unit, operational locality, or specialist service area or as part of a specific programme for delivering transformation to provide strategic advice and guidance to the Local Management Teams.
Working for our organisation
You'll have the opportunity to work in one of the most diverse regions in the country, with the vibrant capital city just a stone's throw away and the invigorating North Sea coast to the east.
At EEAST we bring together all our skills to provide 24 hour, 365 days a year urgent care to those in need of emergency and non-emergency medical treatment and transport in Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Essex, Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire.
We are always looking to innovate our approaches and work together to offer the best possible patient care across our counties.
We aim to represent and value the diversity of our local communities through our workforce and service provision. We therefore positively encourage applications from under-represented groups, such as Black, Asian, or other ethnic groups, individuals with a Disability, or LGBTQ+ individuals who meet the specific criteria.
We at EEAST want to support our employees achieve a balance between work and other priorities, such as caring responsibilities, family commitments, further learning, and other interests. We therefore welcome flexible working requests.
