Expressions of interest are invited for this Director (SCS 2) role as Chief People Officer (CPO). The interim role is open to substantive SG staff and those who fall under Common Citizenship at Deputy Director (SCS 1) level on temporary promotion or Directors (SCS 2) on level transfer for up to 6 months whilst the post is out for external advert. Chartered FCIPD is a requirement of the role.

Given the likely short period of cover required, and the departure date of the incumbent, very quick release from current responsibilities will be essential.
