Description
Introduction
People are at the heart of Heathrow. Not just the millions of passengers who travel, trade, shop, eat, connect and explore with us every year, but also the thousands of colleagues who go the extra mile to give every one of them the best airport service in the world. In the People team, we partner with people across our business to help to make Heathrow a place where everyone is accepted for who they are and can achieve their best.
We’re a community of human resources and health and safety professionals, encompassing all aspects of HR and wellbeing. Whether your passion is in business partnering, reward, learning and development, or any other specialist area, you’ll be part of a team creating and delivering Heathrow’s innovative People Strategy. We are committed to being a truly inclusive organisation that represents the diversity of the local community at every level.
There’s no place like Heathrow – for the buzz, for the variety, for the sense of belonging and for the chance to go on a really fulfilling career journey. We’re passionate about our colleagues’ experience, making Heathrow a great place to work and creating careers, not just jobs.
Job Description
While this role sits within Organisational Effectiveness and offers the opportunity over time to lead across both organisation design and strategic workforce planning, the immediate and primary focus will be on leading the development and coordination of Heathrow’s Strategic Workforce Plan, ensuring the organisation is equipped with the skills and capabilities needed to deliver its long-term strategy.
We are particularly interested in candidates who bring strong strategic workforce planning capability, with the ability to look ahead, identify how the workforce needs to evolve, and define future skills and capabilities, translating this into clear, practical interventions. While a blended skillset across workforce planning and organisation design is advantageous, the immediate priority will be to build, coordinate, and embed a robust, enterprise-wide strategic workforce planning approach.
Please note this role focuses on long-term, strategic workforce planning and organisation design, rather than short-term operational resourcing.
