We're looking for an ambitious, innovative and values driven People Wellbeing Lead to shape the future of wellbeing across one of the largest employers in the region. This is an exciting opportunity to move beyond traditional wellbeing programmes and lead a transformational agenda that places health, wellbeing and attendance at the heart of organisational success.

As part of our People Development and Experience Service, you will be instrumental in delivering our commitment to ‘We Take Wellbeing Seriously’ helping us create a culture where colleagues feel supported, valued and able to perform at their best.

Wolverhampton is a city with ambition. We're investing in our future, transforming the way we work and creating an environment where our people can do their very best work. As a council we are committed to innovation, inclusion, collaboration and making a positive difference to the communities we serve.

We are passionate about creating outstanding employee experiences and building a workplace where people can grow, belong and succeed.

This role gives you a rare chance to create, shape and influence.

You will:

• Lead the development and implementation of our organisation-wide wellbeing approach
• Design innovative approaches to prevention, early intervention and workforce health.
• Use data and insight to identify trends, predict risks and influence action.
• Partner with leaders across the organisation to embed wellbeing into workforce planning, organisational design and leadership practice.
• Deliver high-profile programmes that improve attendance, reduce health-related risks and strengthen employee experience.
• Represent the Council at local, regional and national forums, positioning Wolverhampton as a leading employer for workforce wellbeing.

This is a role for someone who wants to leave a legacy.

You might currently work in organisational development, employee wellbeing, HR, workforce transformation, occupational health, public health or a related profession.

Most importantly, you'll bring:

• Experience of leading meaningful organisational change.
• A track record of influencing senior leaders and stakeholders.
• A passion for creating healthier, happier and more productive workplaces.
• Strong analytical skills and the ability to turn insight into action.
• Confidence to challenge, innovate and think differently.
• A collaborative approach that brings people together around shared outcomes.
• The drive to make a real difference to people's working lives.

This isn't about running wellbeing campaigns. It's about shaping how a whole organisation thinks about wellbeing.

You’ll have the opportunity to:

• Influence senior decision making.
• Work across organisational boundaries.
• Lead innovative programmes that improve attendance and employee experience.
• Build capability across leaders and managers.
• Create evidence-based solutions that have a lasting impact.
• Help thousands of colleagues stay well, thrive and deliver for our communities.

At Wolverhampton you’ll find:

• Flexible and hybrid working.
• Generous annual leave entitlement.
• Local Government Pension Scheme.
• A strong commitment to wellbeing and professional development.
• A supportive and collaborative leadership culture.
• The opportunity to shape a high-profile agenda with visible organisational impact.
