What you'll bring to the team:
A job with Merlin isn’t like a job anywhere else. With attractions around the world, from rollercoasters to wax figures, we don’t trade in suits, handshakes or briefcases. We trade in fun. In smiles, shrieks and spine-tingles. In Memories. In magic. But there are no tricks behind our magic. Instead, there are people like you. Passionate, dedicated people who are committed to making sure our worldwide attractions and guests’ experiences are the best they can be.
Due to continuing growth and development of Merlin’s attractions and brands on a global scale, we are looking for a People Business Partner to join our corporate department on a 12 Month Fixed term . The role will be based at London, South bank office, with a hybrid element for those looking for more flexibility.
As a PBP, you'll be at the forefront of shaping our company culture and driving initiatives that make a real impact on our employees' experiences. You'll work closely with line managers, ensuring that our business priorities are not just met, but exceeded in ways that resonate with every member of our team.
Here's what makes this role truly special:
Empowerment Initiatives: You'll spearhead projects that uplift and empower our employees, making sure everyone feels heard, valued, and engaged.
Data-Driven Diversity: Dive into metrics to understand our team's needs better, paving the way for initiatives that promote diversity and inclusion at every level.
Supportive Spaces: Be the go-to person for handling employee relations issues, ensuring everyone feels supported and respected in their roles.
Team Player: Provide essential support to our wider team and Senior PBPs, because we believe in lifting each other up for success.
Continuous Improvement: Collaborate closely with Senior PBPs to continually refine our processes and ways of working, ensuring we're always on the cutting edge of excellence.
Voice of the People: Lead initiatives like the Wizard Wants To Know survey and Your Voice Counts Forum, giving every member of our team a platform to share their thoughts and ideas.
