Senior HROD Business Partner

In November 2022, we announced one of the most exciting and significant strategic developments in our history, our first satellite campus outside Sheffield, in Brent Cross, London. High-quality central services will be vital to the success of the London campus, which will be an integrated part of the Hallam offer, meaning we can enhance our provision with dual locations for teaching, learning, work-based activities, consultancy and research and development. This exciting new role will initially be based at our Sheffield City Campus, although regular travel to London will be required and you will increasingly be based in London as the campus takes shape. Importantly, we need people who share our ‘Hallam Values’ of ambition, collaboration, inclusion, innovation and integrity, visibly role modelling these within the University and externally. These roles will be pivotal to the development of the London Campus, providing expert advice and operational support to drive a programme of work that ensures we realise our ambition. If this sounds like you, or if you have any questions, please do get in touch. We look forward to hearing from you.
