Director of HR and OD

Greenwich is a borough synonymous with iconic London landmarks, culture and outstanding service delivery. The borough is home to the O2 Arena, Royal Park, Royal Observatory, the Cutty Sark and the Royal Naval College. Our vibrant, diverse communities span Greenwich town centre in the west, to Thamesmead in the east, from the Greenwich Peninsula in the north to Eltham in the south.

We are looking to appoint a highly committed Director of HR and OD to empower our workforce and improve the lives of our residents. You will lead our work to embed the council’s workforce strategy, champion our equalities and equity agenda, and provide outstanding advice and guidance on all workforce related issues. If you can offer strategic vision and operational leadership, this is a fantastic opportunity to join an ambitious yet caring London borough.

Royal Greenwich is an inclusive employer. Our diversity is one of our greatest strengths and really matters to us. We want our workforce to reflect and respect the diversity of our communities, bringing richness, inclusivity and innovation to the services we deliver. We are not there yet and actively encourage applications from under-represented groups.
