Pay, Data and Workforce Lead

This is a pivotal role in shaping and embedding the NMC’s approach to reward. You will lead the development and implementation of key reward initiatives, including grading and pay structures, pay progression and benefits, ensuring they are fair, competitive and evidence based. Working closely with the Heads of People and Culture and HR Business Partners, you will provide expert reward advice to senior leaders and support the delivery of reward elements within the People Plan. This includes designing and managing consultation processes, supporting directorates through organisational change, presenting options to UNISON and Senior Leaders and ensuring reward considerations are fully integrated into wider people initiatives. The organisation is also navigating a challenging financial context, and this role will play a key part in implementing any potential voluntary and compulsory redundancy programmes where required. Alongside reward leadership, you will provide strategic oversight of people data and workforce analytics. You will develop dashboards and insights that inform strategic workforce decisions, support regulatory reporting requirements such as Gender Pay Gap reporting, and ensure robust governance of people data. You will be the lead on these areas, being able to confidently report on all aspects of the job role. Through your work, you will help ensure the NMC’s reward practices are equitable, transparent and sustainable while providing leaders with the insights they need to make informed workforce decisions.
