At the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), we’re not just about producing world-class guidance—we’re about creating a workplace where people feel empowered, supported, and inspired. Our People Services Team is central to that mission, and the People Hub is set to become the gateway to everything we do.

As our new People Hub Team Lead, you’ll lead a small, dedicated team and play a pivotal role in shaping how colleagues access People support. You’ll work closely with the Head of Resourcing and Intelligence to help design and deliver a brand-new People Hub—one that’s modern, responsive, and built around exceptional customer service.

This is a brilliant opportunity for someone with generalist HR experience who’s ready to step into a leadership role. You’ll collaborate across the full People Directorate, gaining exposure to areas like employee relations, learning and development, resourcing, and organisational development—making it the perfect platform to grow your career while making a real impact.

Interviews are anticipated to take place in early September.

In this varied and impactful role, you’ll take the lead on delivering and continuously improving the day-to-day operations of the People Hub, ensuring a high-quality, customer-focused service across all areas of People support.

• Leading and coaching a small team to deliver exceptional, customer-focused HR support
