We’re looking for a People Project Consultant to lead the delivery of high-impact People projects, that drive transformation and support our business strategy. You’ll work closely with Strategic People Partners and specialists across the organisation to design and implement innovative, pragmatic solutions that add measurable value.

As a key contact for stakeholders, you’ll manage multiple projects end-to-end, ensuring clear communication, stakeholder engagement, and successful outcomes. This role can be offered on a 6 or 12 month fixed term contract. If you have significant experience managing complex change projects, join us to help shape meaningful change and drive value through our people.

You'll work at least 40% of your week away from home, moving to the majority of your working week from September 2025. Away from home means either attendance at one of our office locations, visiting clients or attending industry events. We’re also happy to consider flexible working arrangements, which you can discuss with Talent Acquisition.

What you’ll be doing: 

• Scope, design, and lead delivery of People projects aligned with business priorities
• Collaborate with key stakeholders to ensure effective planning, communication, and project governance
• Track project plans, risks, actions, and dependencies to ensure timely delivery
• Deliver clear and engaging communications and presentations to support change initiatives
