Job description

The Interim HR Consultant (Change Management) opportunity represents a senior interim assignment supporting a client through a high-profile period of organisational transformation. Based in Weybridge, this role would suit an experienced HR change professional with a strong background delivering complex restructuring programmes within the education or wider public sector.

This is a hands-on role requiring credibility at executive level and the ability to lead sensitive change activity at pace.

Client Details

Our client is a well-established and respected organisation within the education sector, recognised for its commitment to delivering positive outcomes for the communities it serves. As a medium-sized organisation entering a significant phase of transformation, it offers an engaging and collaborative environment with strong senior leadership sponsorship for change.

Description

Reporting into the Executive team, the Interim HR Consultant (Change Management) will take responsibility for the people and organisational elements of a large-scale transformation programme. Key responsibilities will include leading the design, development and implementation of agreed organisational and senior leadership structures, as well as managing leadership transitions including new appointments, role redesign and exits.

The role will play a key part in shaping organisational design and senior leadership restructuring decisions, providing expert advice, insight and practical options to the CEO and COO to support effective, collective decision-making. The successful consultant will translate strategic intent into clear, structured and deliverable change plans.

You will lead the end-to-end delivery of workforce change activity, including consultation, redundancy, redeployment and appeals processes arising from Executive and Board decisions. Acting as the senior HR lead for the programme, you will also manage engagement with Trade Unions and staff representatives throughout the transformation.

In addition, the role will involve advising senior leaders on people-related risks associated with organisational change, recommending appropriate mitigation strategies, and ensuring robust governance, high-quality documentation and clear, defensible audit trails across all workforce change activity.

Profile

We are looking to engage an Interim HR Consultant (Change Management) with:

  • Extensive senior-level HR experience within complex, multi-stakeholder organisations
  • A proven track record of delivering large-scale organisational change and restructuring programmes
  • Strong employee relations expertise, including leading Trade Union consultation and negotiation
  • Deep, practical knowledge of UK employment law and workforce change governance frameworks
  • Experience within the education sector and/or broader public sector environments
  • The ability to influence, challenge and advise credibly at Executive and Board level
  • Sound judgement, strong analytical capability and confidence operating in sensitive, ambiguous situations
  • Excellent communication skills with the emotional intelligence to manage complex and difficult conversations
  • A collaborative working style, comfortable operating within matrixed and shared-accountability environments

Job Offer

This interim opportunity offers:

  • A competitive day rate of £400–£500, dependent on experience
  • A 6-month interim assignment based in Weybridge
  • 5 days per week on-site, with free on-site parking
