If you think leading edge HR is all about the policies and procedures then don't bother reading any further. However if you believe that leading edge HR is about delivering sustainable high performance for an organisation, through and with its people, then read on.

People management and development in YAS is about to embark upon the most significant, challenging and fascinating journey of transformation, as is the HR team that will support and enable this change.

This isn't a role for the shy and retiring, because we'll need you to deliver unrivalled quality, performance and effectiveness within HR and beyond by enabling our "One Team" ethos to thrive and embed. Resilient and hard-nosed when needed, but very much warm hearted, you might wonder what's in it for you? How abouta career defining opportunity and the ability to say that you deliver our mission of "Saving lives, caring for you" for the millions of people we serve, just as much as our dedicated clinicians?
