Are you an experienced people and resources manager with a passion for making a difference?

Avon Wildlife Trust are looking for a Head of People and Resources to shape the development of our workforce and ensure that our staff and volunteers have everything they need to fulfil their roles.

Like many organisations, we have recently moved to a hybrid working approach including homeworking and operational hubs throughout our area. We have embraced collaborative online working through Microsoft Teams and are making the transition to fully cloud based IT systems. We are operating effectively in our new model, but much remains to be done to ensure that staff and volunteers are supported by the best systems and facilities that we can provide. The Head of People and Resources is a new role in the Trust, introduced to help make and maintain this transition. You will also support the operation of our Board and the governance of the Trust. 

We are looking for someone who is passionate about driving a positive culture of continuous improvement in people and operations, including workforce development, facilities, HR, health and safety, safeguarding, IT, governance, project management and equality, diversity and inclusion. If this is you, we look forward to hearing from you.
