Hi, I’m Jenny and my role here at the Combined Authority is HR Operations Manager. I have overall responsibility for the operations side of the HR Team. As well as the operational side of HR, which includes the whole employee lifecycle from recruitment through to employee relations, reward and offboarding, we also have a Learning and Development team and a Systems and Projects Team.
I love my job, I work with a fantastic team who are all really dedicated, committed and maybe most importantly, fun to work with! I think it would be fair to say our jobs are varied and no two days are the same, which makes the roles in HR even more interesting and rewarding.
The Combined Authority is an evolving, ever-changing organisation and has great values and behaviours that we all embrace. Its vision is to transform lives and communities across the West Yorkshire region and in HR, we are proud for our contribution to that vision.
Since joining the Combined Authority, I have been given many opportunities to develop both personally and professionally. I’ve met people who have become close friends, started a Level 5 apprenticeship and have been able to contribute to some very exciting projects that improve the lives of people across West Yorkshire.
Working with the Combined Authority has enabled me to achieve a better work-life balance through flexible working, allowing me to adapt my working hours to balance work, studies and home life.
I’m very grateful for the opportunities that have been presented to me and I’m looking forward to seeing how my career develops going forward.
