Our people are our heroes and behind our heroes are the brains, muscles and backbone of our organisation – our People & Change Team.

A force to be reckoned with, the spring in our step.

  • Support the wider strategy by leading on and supporting key people-related projects that enable cultural, skills and organisational development.
