The role

Shape the workforce behind Britain's railway.

Are you someone who sees the bigger picture, loves solving problems and knows that great recruitment is about much more than filling vacancies?

We're looking for a Resourcing Business Partner who can combine strategic thinking with practical delivery, helping us attract the right people and skills that our railway needs, for today and into tomorrow.

This is a fantastic opportunity to take ownership of the resourcing agenda across Network Rail's North & East Route, building strong relationships with operational leaders and making a real difference to how we plan for, attract and recruit talent.

Reporting to the Senior HR Business Partner, you'll be our dedicated resourcing expert for the route, connecting business priorities with recruitment expertise and market insight.

You'll work with leaders to understand their workforce challenges, anticipate future skills requirements and develop creative, practical solutions.

You'll have the opportunity to

  • Shape our resourcing approach: Work with senior leaders to understand their priorities and translate workforce challenges into effective attraction and recruitment strategies.
  • Think beyond today's vacancies: Connect recruitment activity with strategic workforce planning, helping us anticipate emerging skills gaps and future capability requirements.
  • Influence and challenge: Use recruitment data, labour market intelligence and business insight to support better decisions and challenge established ways of working.
  • Make recruitment better: Identify opportunities to improve how we attract, assess and appoint talent, working collaboratively with specialist recruitment teams and HR colleagues.
  • Build meaningful partnerships: Develop trusted relationships across the route, connecting people, ideas and expertise to deliver better outcomes.

Why join us?

You'll have the opportunity to make your mark in a role with genuine scope, working alongside people who care about making our railway better.

Don't meet every requirement?

You don't need to tick every box to make a difference here. We value different experiences, perspectives and ways of thinking, and we'd encourage you to apply if this opportunity excites you.
