OD Consultant Workforce Talent Management Consultant £36,810 - £41,199 (2009/10 pay award pending) With strategic influence, HR & OD is one of Croydon Council’s most valuable assets. It’s certainly dazzled at recent award ceremonies, winning us the PPMA’s HR Transformation and HR Efficiency & Business Impact awards and was shortlisted for “Innovative use of Technology” at the recent HR Awards. As far as we’re concerned this is only the start. We’ve already restructured the function, placing it at the forefront of supporting Croydon’s on-going transformation. We now want to move forward with our organisational and workforce development agenda. This calls for talent that sparkles every bit as brightly as the awards in our trophy cabinet. In other words, we need gifted professionals who’ll drive the council forward and relish the opportunity to bring their ideas to fruition. The OD and Workforce Talent Management Consultants will be expected to adopt a business partner approach, working with internal partners such as Strategy & Innovation and with external partners such as the primary care trust and Home Office.
