Reporting to the UK HRD, you will play a critical role in the HRLT alongside specialist leaders and divisional HRD peers. As Head of TA, you will play a leading role in developing their employer brand and attraction strategies, transitioning an operational recruitment function to a best in class in-house partnering team with direct search capability (Team c.40 FTE). With a 95% demand for specialist hires in a highly competitive market, and 5% within shared/corporate services, it will be critical to build an unrivalled candidate experience journey that can satisfy current demands and build future talent pipelines. Continuing to enhance their graduate and early careers programmes will also be fundamental, currently hiring over 200 graduates annually, and set to increase.
Shaping the TA strategy to align with the UK’s business plan and engaging key stakeholders, you will prioritise your end state operating model, implement newly acquired technologies, and embed improved operational processes and efficiencies. This is a role that will require you to pivot frequently between strategy and ultimate operational accountability for delivering specialist hires in revenue generating roles, who have a direct impact on business performance.
If you are an experienced TA leader with a desire to work in a genuinely fast paced and high growth organisation that is continuing to evolve, this is a superb opportunity to consider.

Debbie works hard and is one of the most responsive resourcing partners I have worked with. Organised and always constructive with an eye to the bigger picture, I appreciated her honesty during the hiring process and the clear passion she has for what she does. A business owner herself she understands the commercials and reality of running a business but at same time is intuitive and emotionally intelligent in her approach and has an eye to long term relationships and plays that long game well.
