TuVida (previously known as Carers Trust East Midlands) have a brand new exciting opportunity within the organisation as People Team Business Partner.

As a HR business partner you will lead the next stage of the establishment of TuVida’s new internal HR function, building relationships with managers, gaining their confidence and trust as you provide sound, accurate and consistent HR advice that delivers quality people management aligned to our vision, values and business ambitions. You will be the direct line manager of four team members within the People Team and will report into the Chief Officer of People.

TuVida is a new brand built from decades of social care services delivered by 17 now merged charities. This role will lead on the integration and harmonisation of HR practice across our footprint, from centralisation of personnel files to how disciplinary matters are handled and judged, ensuring our employee experience is consistent and reflects the value we place on our staff.

Changing. 2021 will see the arrival of a new organisational structure and systems requiring high levels of organisational and workforce planning. This role will be pivotal in shaping and implementing these practices, delivering interventions and solutions to effectively meet our workforce needs.

Evolving. We are working hard to evolve and consolidate one culture for our emerging integrated organisation. This role will use your strong experience and judgement to influence, motivate and change our management style and approach, coaching leaders and managers on people management to build their confidence.

Growing. A constant churn of contracts, on boarding, exiting and growth demands innovative and responsive people management skills. This role will be at the forefront of meeting those demands.

The world in which we work is changing too; the ongoing pandemic and its impact on our staff, commissioners and communities; and growing need for support given our population demographics; the increasing competition to do more for less as public bodies strive to economise and drive costs down. This role will be at the forefront of our response to each and all of these.

• line manage the HR Advisor and Recruitment Manager and together deliver interventions and solutions that enable TuVida to meet our workforce needs
