Resourcing Consultant

As part of the Redeployment Team, you will play a vital role in helping colleagues navigate their next career opportunity, whether that's within the Society or beyond.

You'll provide practical guidance, coaching and support to help colleagues identify and secure roles that match their skills, experience and aspirations. Through both one-to-one and group sessions, delivered virtually and in person, you'll promote the Redeployment Service, helping colleagues understand and access the resources available to them.

A key part of the role will be monitoring and managing the redeployment process, ensuring colleagues who could benefit from the service receive the right support at the right time. You'll work closely with hiring managers to ensure redeployment candidates are considered appropriately and in line with policies.

Your recruitment experience will be invaluable in helping colleagues present themselves effectively. You'll review CVs and applications, provide interview and career coaching, advise on trial periods, and ensure candidates receive timely, constructive and high-quality feedback throughout their journey.

We're looking for someone who is proactive, creative and committed to continuous improvement. You'll be keen to identify opportunities to enhance the service, streamline processes and improve the experience for colleagues and hiring managers alike. You'll also be confident working with data, using Excel to manage information, produce meaningful insights and demonstrate the value and impact of the Redeployment Service.

Building strong relationships will be essential to your success. You'll be skilled at engaging with colleagues at all levels, balancing empathy and support with the confidence to challenge constructively, influence stakeholders and drive positive change within the team and across the wider business.

What You'll Bring

• Experience in recruitment, talent, career coaching or a related role

• Strong coaching and communication skills, with the ability to support and influence a wide range of stakeholders

• Experience reviewing CVs, supporting candidates through recruitment processes and providing developmental feedback

• Confidence presenting information to groups and facilitating sessions both virtually and face-to-face

• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail

• Proficiency in Excel and an ability to analyse data to generate insights, recommendations and narrative

• A proactive mindset with a passion for continuous improvement and delivering excellent colleague experiences

We are happy to consider flexible working approaches to help you perform at your best.
 

The working hours (per week) for this role can be between 28 and 35 hours.

This is a 12-month secondment opportunity.

At Nationwide we offer hybrid working wherever possible. More rewarding relationships are supported through our hybrid approach, bringing colleagues together across our UK wide estate, whilst also supporting generous access to home working. We value our time in the office to solve problems, to learn, and to feel connected.

For this job you'll spend at least two days per week, or if part time you'll spend 40% of your working time, based at either our Swindon, Northampton or Glasgow office. If you’re based at our Glasgow office, this will apply from 1 April 2027 and ahead of that there will be a need to regularly connect with colleagues for collaboration events. If your application is successful, your hiring manager will provide further details on how this works. You can also find out more about our approach to hybrid working here. 

Nationwide is committed to the redeployment of our employees impacted by change, as such applications for redeployment candidates will be prioritised in this recruitment process.

Responsibilities

What you’ll be doing

You’ll work closely with other members of the Redeployment team to ensure support all colleagues who require redeployment support can access it. This will include colleagues who are at risk of redundancy, and colleagues who require redeployment due to other reasons such as ill health. You will be passionate about inclusion and diversity, demonstrate strong empathy and have experience of supporting a range of neurotypes. 

You will work constructively with other teams and stakeholders including People Partnering, Case Management, Resourcing Governance and our Unions. 

You will also monitor and manage key processes and information such as our Redeployment Register, trial periods, end of secondments, issuance of notice and supporting collateral.
 

About you

You will have:

• Working knowledge and understanding of recruitment processes, systems, governance and policy

• Experience coaching colleagues on how to produce quality CVs and prepare for interviews

• Experience presenting information in group and 1:1 sessions

• Demonstrable experience of using Excel to capture and manipulate data (e.g. Pivot Tables, V Look Ups) 

• Experience of dealing with multiple stakeholders and comfortable having challenging conversations 

• Demonstrable experience of using SharePoint and Microsoft Teams

Our customer first behaviours put customers and members at the heart of how we work together. They are the set of behaviours that every colleague needs to display, in every role:

• Feel what customers feel - We step into our customers’ shoes, using their feedback and insights to empathise with them and to understand their needs, so that every decision we make starts and finishes with our customers in mind

• Say it straight - We are brave in speaking out and saying what we think – we’re honest and direct with good intent, openly sharing diverse perspectives to reach the best conclusions and using language everyone can understand

• Push for better - We don’t settle for mediocrity, we challenge the status quo, taking responsibility for continuous improvement and personal development

• Get it done - We prioritise what will have the greatest impact, we are decisive, and we take accountability for delivering brilliant customer outcomes

You can strengthen your application by showing how our customer first behaviours resonate with you, and where you may have already demonstrated these.

Banking – but fairer, more rewarding, and for the good of society

We forge our own path at Nationwide.

As a mutual, we’re owned by our members - those customers who bank, save or have a mortgage with us. We challenge the financial sector status quo. We don’t see customers as the engine of our own profit. We share our profits with them and put their needs first. Always there when they need us. Supporting them and their lives.

If you’re inspired by fairer finances, passionate about making a meaningful impact, and truly care about our customers, you’re one of us.

At Nationwide, you are challenged to grow and rewarded for doing so. Valued. Recognised. Inspired to be your best. As a community, we want our working lives to count. As a team, we celebrate what we achieve. As a standard-setter, we work for the good of customers, communities, and broader society.

We are purpose-driven. Uncompromisingly customer. Unstoppably Nationwide.
