6 Head of people culture jobs

Thank you for taking an interest in applying for this role at Imperial Health Charity.

This is a genuinely significant opportunity; you will be the person who builds and leads a small but dedicated people function that makes a real difference, not just to our staff, but to the thousands of patients and NHS colleagues we exist to support. We are at an important point in our development. Our headcount is growing, our projects are expanding, and we are making a deliberate shift from a traditional HR model to a People & Culture approach one that is proactive, values-led and strategically connected to everything we do.

We need a Head of People & Culture who can build those foundations with purpose and expertise. You will bring both the technical depth and the interpersonal credibility to work alongside our senior leadership team as an equal.

You will shape our people strategy, lead on complex employee relations matters, and drive the cultural shift that will define IHC as an employer of choice in the charity and health sectors. You will be comfortable getting stuck in with a small team, bringing architectural thinking to how the People function is designed, and applying clear flexibility in managing people services within a thriving SME environment. You will also understand how technology integration can improve people processes, reporting, and operational delivery, and appreciate the dynamics of volunteering and other integrated services within a complex charitable and health-related setting.

If you are a senior people professional who thrives in a values-led environment, enjoys building things properly, and wants to do work that genuinely matters, we would very much like to hear from you.
