The Role

People are at the heart of who and what we are! People focused, professional and inclusivity are key to our mission to ensure change through our exciting transformation programme.  Attracting and retaining great colleagues is critical to our success, as we move into our next 5-year Corporate Plan. We constantly need to consider reward through the lens of culture and colleague experience. We believe that every Midland Heart colleague should be rewarded and recognised for their work, in ways that reflect our appreciation felt for them. That’s why we’re seeking an experienced Reward professional who will lead on the creation and delivery of a new Reward strategy that is aligned to our plans for the next 5 years.

This is an exciting time to join us in this brand-new role. Reporting to our Director of People, responsibilities include, but aren’t limited to:

• Formulate and articulate a clear and compelling reward strategy that supports attraction, retention and motivation of a high-performing workforce.
• Proactively foster a culture of continuous improvement within the reward space, building upon our current offer and shape future packages that continue to meet the needs of our colleagues.
• Acting as our pensions SME, developing and implementing a pension strategy which is underpinned by strong governance, controls and risk mitigation.
• Lead our payroll team in the delivery of a lean and efficient, customer-focussed payroll service.

Our colleagues deliver services from the location that they are best delivered on any given day. This means that, on average, you could expect to work from a Midland Heart site 3 days per week.

Our Ideal candidate? You’ll have achieved membership to a relevant professional body (e.g. CIPP, CIPD) with excellent working knowledge and proven experience of developing and implementing pensions strategies. You’ll also have a strong track record of managing and delivering reward and benefits (including Executive Remuneration) in a complex, multi-site company. As an HR professional, it goes without saying that you’ll be a true people person, with the ability to collaborate, influence and negotiate with stakeholders at all levels.

Who are Midland Heart? We’re one team working together for our tenants. We welcome people from every walk of life, at every stage of their career. We expect a lot from our people but in return you can be assured of a great place to work, where you will be well rewarded and where great people are able to succeed. Whether you want to build your career with us, or use your experience to move on, we’re here to develop your potential.
