Talent Partner - Part Time

At Tesco, we believe in the power of spending more time together, face to face, than apart. So, during your working week, you can expect to spend 60% of your time in one of our office locations or local sites and the rest remotely. We also recognise that life looks a little different for each of us. Some people are at the start of their careers, some want the freedom to do the things they love. Others are going through life-changing moments like becoming a carer, nearing retirement, adapting to parenthood, or something else. That's why at Tesco, we always welcome a conversation about flexible working. So, talk to us throughout your application about how we can support.

You will be responsible for:

I partner functional leadership teams across all work levels including Exec member and relevant People Business Partner to deliver an excellent talent offer for colleagues.
I facilitate the talent planning and succession planning cycle including calibrating potential: I calibrate potential twice per year and ensure JDI is used to inform HiPo population, and succession planning is formally reviewed once a year ensuring senior roles and high risk roles have successors.
I facilitate the performance cycle aligned to Your Contribution, providing challenge, agitation and a non bias view; calibration is fair and consistent, and builds a view of 'strong current performance' to inform the high potential pipeline.
I accelerate the development of diverse talent (including early careers) to deliver against our DE&I aspirations, supporting line managers in preparing colleagues for bigger, broader roles: I activity support the Diverse talent communities, equipping managers by exception and provide structured 1 on 1 making sense support to colleagues twice per year.
I support functions in developing targeted talent plans that provide colleagues with an opportunity to get on for all: Provide technical expertise to functions, building out and course correcting local talent plans using survey results and other channels of feedback.
I support managers and leaders in calibrating Performance through Your Contribution and encourage a continuous feedback environment.
I provide ad-hoc support for Line Managers as and when needed, helping managers make sense of the talent tools and processes; Line Managers are equipped to have great career conversations with colleagues and colleagues feel and see Tesco as a place to get on for all.
I work closely with the Group Talent team to inform blueprint design to ensure brilliant delivery of talent processes as well as championing internal talent movement across functions and business units.

Our vision at Tesco is to become every customer's favourite way to shop, whether they are at home or out on the move. Our core purpose is 'Serving our customers, communities and planet a little better every day'. Serving means more than a transactional relationship with our customers. It means acting as a responsible and sustainable business for all stakeholders, for the communities we are part of and for the planet.

We are proud to have an inclusive culture at Tesco where everyone truly feels able to be themselves. At Tesco, we not only celebrate diversity, but recognise the value and opportunity it brings. We're committed to creating a workplace where differences are valued, and make sure that all colleagues are given the same opportunities. We're a big business with diverse working patterns and many business areas which means that we can find something that works for you. Everyone is welcome at Tesco.

We have recently announced that we will be moving towards a more blended working week - combining office and remote working. Our offices will continue to be where we connect, collaborate and innovate. Please talk to us to about how this can work for you.
