Job Details

Unicef ensures more of the world’s children are vaccinated, educated and protected than any other organisation. We have done more to influence laws and policies to help protect children than anyone else. We get things done. And we’re not going to stop until the world is a safe place for all our children.

Unicef UK raises funds for Unicef’s global work. We advocate and campaign for the fulfilment of children’s rights in the UK and abroad. We employ around 300 talented individuals to support this work.

As a leading UK charity, we have ambitious plans for the future. Our people and values are critical in achieving those goals. As Director of People, you will work with the Chief People Officer, to achieve our goals by developing, leading and implementing our people and culture strategy. You will be supported by a professional team, covering business partnering, talent, reward, employee relations, HR operations and facilities management.    Through your expert leadership, you will support senior managers, empowering them to attract and retain the best people and to develop the high performing teams required to deliver Unicef’s strategic goals for children.

To succeed in this role, you will be an ambitious and inspirational leader, respected for your results, expertise and commitment.  With the ability to enthuse and promote, you will have a strong track record of developing high-performing teams.  As a key member of the Senior Leadership Team, you will build effective relationships with other directors and their functions and share mutual responsibility for achieving the best outcomes

Interview date: week commencing 11 March 2019.

We particularly welcome applications from black, Asian and minority ethnic candidates, LGBTQ+ candidates, candidates with disabilities, and from men, because we would like to increase the representation of these groups within Unicef UK. We want to do this because we know greater diversity will lead to even greater impact for children.

Unicef UK promotes equality, diversity and inclusion in our workplace. We make employment decisions by matching business needs with skills and experience of candidates, irrespective of age, disability (including hidden disabilities), gender, gender identity or gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation.

We welcome applications from a diverse range of people, respecting and drawing on different perspectives, skills, experience and knowledge. 

The successful candidate will be required to apply for a criminal records check. A criminal record will not necessarily bar you from working with us. This will depend on the nature of the role and the circumstances of your offences.

We only accept online applications as this saves us money, making more funds available for us to help ensure children’s rights. CVs will not be accepted.

If you require support in completing the online form or an application form in an alternative format, please contact Supporter Care on 0300 330 5580 during office hours.
