Liverpool’s transformation is picking up pace and our inspiring new People Plan sets out what success will look like. Your role will be to make it happen. As the Council’s lead on people practice, workforce and OD, and a member of the Transformation Board, you’ll be fundamental to the success of our ambitious change programme. We want to make sure our staff are always proud to work for us, always feel valued, and have confidence that their voice is heard.

You’ll have the strategic OD experience to shape a working environment that supports our staff and enables them to thrive.
