Are you passionate about shaping the workforce of the future? We are seeking an experienced Resourcing Partner (Strategic Workforce Planning) to join our welcoming and collaborative People team on a 12-month fixed-term basis to cover maternity leave.

This is a unique opportunity to play a leading role in embedding Strategic Workforce Planning across TfGM, helping ensure we have the right people, skills and capability to deliver our long-term ambitions. Working across a diverse organisation, you will partner with senior leaders to identify future workforce needs, workforce risks and talent priorities, translating business strategy into practical workforce plans.

Reporting to the Senior Resourcing Manager, you will act as the subject matter expert in Strategic Workforce Planning.

You will lead and facilitate Strategic Workforce Planning activities, supporting leaders to understand current and future workforce requirements, identify critical roles and capability gaps and develop evidence-based plans to address workforce risks. Working closely with HR, L&OD, Finance and managers, you will use workforce data and insight to shape decisions on talent, succession, skills development, organisational design and future resource requirements.
