Islington HR is on an ambitious journey. Our vision is to be a trusted professional partner, empowering our managers and people to thrive and deliver better services for Islington.

We are looking to enhance our senior leadership team with an additional Head of Strategic HR Partnering. This will be for a 1 year fixed term period to support the delivery of our HR strategy.
