Additionally, you will work with unions and bus operators to identify barriers to entry for people joining the bus industry and execute research and engage with stakeholders to propose effective solutions to address and overcome these barriers. In this role you will explore and develop role descriptions, structures and capability frameworks that drive organisational strategy and present a more attractive proposition to prospective and current employees.

This newly created role will see you build relationships with leaders across Transport and the wider bus industry, helping map current and future state processes with a focus on organisational design and change.
