About the role

We are looking for an exceptional HR Business Partner to support, drive change and ultimately deliver our comprehensive People Strategy

In May 2022 we launched our 3-year People Plan and it set out how we will attract the best people to our teams, make sure colleagues can progress, and ensure we deliver our commitments of equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI).

The People Plan is rooted in feedback from our employee networks. It will help us establish a framework where everyone at the NMC understands their role, thrives at work, and lives the NMC values and behaviours. Every colleague will be enabled to contribute to a positive culture, develop themselves professionally, and provide feedback and new ideas for continuous improvement personally and professionally.

Our above plan sets out a clear ambition for change and we are looking for an exceptional HRBP to help us continue on this journey and take a lead role on supporting the NMC to achieve their strategic objectives. Working closely with the Head of People Services, you will support across a range of HR work – from organisation design, job design to employee relations and helping support your client groups to achieve their business objectives.

About you

• Chartered MCIPD qualified or working towards
• Experience of workforce planning
• Proven experience of delivering as a credible highly skilled business partner.
• Strong change management experience with experience of delivering the people aspects of organisation-wide change projects and programmes.
• Excellent communication and partnership skills
• Strong diagnostic and analytic skills and the ability to exercise good judgment

Our core role is to regulate. First, we promote high education and professional standards for nurses and midwives across the UK, and nursing associates in England. Second, we maintain the register of professionals eligible to practise. Third, we investigate concerns about nurses, midwives and nursing associates - something that affects a tiny minority of professionals each year. We believe in giving professionals the chance to address concerns, but we’ll always take action when needed.

To regulate well, we support our professions and the public. We create resources and guidance that are useful throughout people’s careers, helping them to deliver our standards in practice and address new challenges. We also support people involved in our investigations, and we’re increasing our visibility so people feel engaged and empowered to shape our work.

Regulating and supporting our professions allows us to influence health and social care. We share intelligence from our regulatory activities and work with our partners to support workforce planning and sector-wide decision making. We use our voice to speak up for a healthy and inclusive working environment for our professions.
