The person will drive the delivery of HR strategic initiatives, including the development and integration of a new HR IT system and the continued embedding of new and revised HR processes, based on this new Organisation Operating Model and the Government’s A Policing Service for the Future four year Plan (2019-2022) to implement the Report of the Commission on the Future of Policing in Ireland. The person appointed to this key role will have a Post-graduate/ Professional qualification in Human Resources Management and significant management experience and a track record of developing and delivering HR strategy in the areas of HR Operations, HR Projects, HR Policy & Systems and Workforce Planning.
