Manage TUPE transfers, restructures, changes to terms and conditions, working practices and new ways of working.

Work closely with specialist HR functions including Reward, L&D and HR Business Partners.

Lead consultation activities and develop strong relationships with trade unions and key stakeholders.

Provide expert guidance on complex HR and employment matters.

Ensure projects are delivered effectively, compliantly and in line with agreed objectives and timescales.

Proven experience working within unionised environments.

Excellent communication, consultation and stakeholder management skills.
