• Coach managers and staff to enhance performance, collaboration, people management, and communication.
• Embed and drive culture and engagement initiatives, including surveys, feedback mechanisms, and tailored initiatives that foster meaningful change and a positive workplace culture.
• Collaborate with the broader People & Culture team to evaluate initiatives, ensuring they deliver maximum impact, best service, and meaningful outcomes for our people.

About You

You will bring:

• The ability to thrive in high-volume environments with rapidly changing and competing deadlines.
• Proven experience leading culture, organisational development, or employee experience initiatives, ideally in a complex or evolving organisation.
• A track record of designing and delivering people strategy actions, frameworks, or approaches.
• Confidence and enthusiasm in facilitation and coaching, with the ability to influence and inspire others.
• Strong stakeholder engagement and relationship-building skills.
• A genuine passion for fostering a positive, high-performing workplace culture.
• Enjoyment in supporting staff and managers to build capability and achieve their goals.
