About us 

We are the voice of Britain’s transport user. We ensure they’re at the centre of tomorrow’s policy decisions and that future investment in the transport network is focused on their needs and experiences. We listen to the public and find out their experience of using, or trying to use, Great Britain’s railways and England’s bus, tram and major road networks. We bring together transport providers and share these views so problems can be fixed but if they are more challenging to resolve, publish an improvement plan. Our analysis, drawn from data and insight across the industry, puts the voice of the transport user at the heart of decision making – in Westminster, Cardiff, Holyrood and with the Mayors of our great city regions.

We have recently undergone a full organisation restructure to set us up to succeed. As a result, there is a significant amount of change happening internally at the same time as changing how we deliver more impact for external stakeholders through our business plan. 

And that’s where you come in! 

This is an exciting opportunity for you to join an ambitious organisation at a pivotal time for transport users and for our people. 

About you 

We are interested in the skills and experience you bring, not just the job titles on your resume. Reflecting our ambition and commitment to be more representative of all transport users, we aim to build teams that draw upon the widest range of experiences, talent and ideas, and for that reason welcome applications from the broadest range of backgrounds and communities. 

To be successful you will have: 

• The ability to work across multiple projects and programmes of work
• Previous HR Adviser experience
• An understanding of key HR processes
• A CIPD qualification
• An understanding of UK employment law with experience supporting or leading on employee relations issues, including but not limited to absence management, performance management, disciplinary and grievance
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to build credibility and relationships quickly
• The ability to build strong relationships with key stakeholders, acting as a trusted advisor
