There is more to the RCN than you might think. We’re a trade union with a membership of over half a million nurses, midwives, nursing support workers and students. We support their practice, represent them, lobby on their behalf, and develop them. We exist to make a positive difference – to the working lives of our members and ultimately to standards in patient care. Our employees are drawn from many walks of life – we are nurses, marketers and communicators, administrators, IT professionals, policy and finance experts, lawyers… together we are so much more. We couldn’t do what we do without our people.
We're accredited with Investors in People Silver Standard. Our people are our greatest asset, and we want people who can contribute to our purpose in line with our values.
We are seeking a dynamic and experienced Business Change Manager to develop and implement a comprehensive change management strategy to ensure a smooth transition to a new cloud-based HR/Payroll and Finance system. This is a 12-month contract position that offers an exciting opportunity to drive positive change and contribute to the long-term success of our organization.
As our Business Change Manager, you will play an essential role in the successful implementation of a new HR/Payroll and Finance system.
Key Responsibilities will include stakeholder engagement and undertaking the development of business change strategies and business change planning (in conjunction with the HR/Payroll and Finance leads) abiding the programme delivery plan. You'll participate in the alignment of change activities across the organization, including with those delivered by other business areas as well as collaborate with key stakeholders at all levels to understand their needs, address concerns, and build support for the change initiative.
To join us you’ll need significant experience as a Business Change Manager, preferably in the implementation of HR/Payroll/Finance cloud-based systems. You will also need strong project management skills with a solid track record of delivering successful change initiatives.
You will need strong stakeholder management and engagement skills and excellent communication, persuasive and interpersonal skills.
To succeed at the Royal College of Nursing all you need to do is think bigger, better and brighter. And with an attitude like that, anything’s possible.
We offer an impressive range of benefits, a broad range of learning development opportunities and an award-winning health and wellbeing programme. We offer annual leave up to 32 days plus bank holidays and three additional days for the Christmas break plus generous maternity, adoption, paternity, and shared parental leave packages.
*We offer a competitive pay structure with annual pay progression until you reach the top of the salary scale. We normally offer new employees the first point of the salary range, although you may be able to negotiate a higher starting salary depending on your skills, experience and current salary.
What we deliver for our members is wide and varied so when it comes to how we work one size doesn’t fit all. We also know that to empower our people to do their best work, they must be able to balance the demands of work and home. We are a diverse organisation and understand everyone has different needs and many of our employees enjoy flexible working enabling them to deliver results whilst having a good work life balance. Departments and directorates have their own hybrid ways of working which put the needs of the service they deliver – whether that’s to members or to colleagues - at their heart, in alignment with our hybrid working core principles. At the RCN it’s unlikely you will work from home for all of your working time. Equally no one is expected to work solely in the office unless your role requires it. You can find out more by having a discussion with the recruiting manager.
