Are you able to manage the delivery and adoption of change? Do you thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced, innovative working environment?
The University of Nottingham is a research-intensive university with campuses in Nottingham in the UK, in Ningbo in China and in Semenyih in Malaysia. We have over 48,000 students across all three campuses and more than 8000 staff in the UK alone. We have ambitious plans to improve quality across a range of activities: Education, Research, People as well as Economic and Environmental Sustainability. To support that ambition, the Planning, Performance & Strategic Change (PPSC) team is bringing together several functions to directly support business planning, strategy, programme management and governance processes. As part of this evolution, we’re looking for two change managers to join the team.
As Change Manager, you will:
• Develop and tailor change management approaches for business cases, projects and programmes
• Identify, engage and enable key stakeholders to maximise adoption and utilisation of change
• Take a pro-active role in building capability across the University including through sharing best practice, mentoring and coaching staff.
You will be:
• Experienced in delivering in a people focussed change management role
• Experienced in working in complex organisations in people or business change.
• Able to quickly establish your credibility and form positive and sound working relationships, interacting with a divergent mix of people and personalities
• An effective communicator, able to influence and negotiate effectively at all levels
• Able to work accurately and efficiently under pressure managing your time effectively, delivering results in time and to a high standard.
What’s in it for you?
• The support you need to nurture your talent, develop and reach your professional and personal career goals
• Competitive employment packages whilst supporting the well-being of our staff to help them reach their full potential
• Discounted access to fitness and health facilities and travel schemes
• Generous holiday allowance
• Attractive pension scheme
Don’t meet every single requirement? We encourage you to apply anyway as we know that a diverse, inclusive, and authentic workplace is not only a better place to work but also produces higher-quality solutions. We know that a team made up of a wide range of groups and backgrounds delivers better projects. Therefore, we are particularly keen to receive applications from groups who are currently underrepresented within our team.
This role is offered on a permanent contract. Hours of work are full-time (36.25 hours per week); however, applications are also welcome from candidates wishing to work part-time (minimum 30 hours per week). Please specify in your application if you wish to work part-time and the number of preferred hours. Job share arrangements may be considered.
