Organisation Development Consultant (11850)

[Employer hidden] is a distinctive Specialist Bank serving clients principally in the UK and South Africa. Our culture gives us our edge: we work hard to find colleagues who'll think out of the ordinary and we put them in environments where they'll flourish. We combine a flat structure with a focus on internal mobility. If you can bring an entrepreneurial spirit and a desire to learn and collaborate to your work, this could be the boost your career deserves.

Organisation Development Consultant

Organisation Development (OD) is a crucial part of the DNA of [Employer hidden]. The OD Team provides a systemic, strategic consulting arm to the People & Organisation function and are an established cross-jurisdictional team, with consultants in South Africa; UK and India.

The OD Team holds a systemic organisational stance, whilst simultaneously consulting to specific pieces of work, partnering with other consultants in People & Organisation & the Global Strategy team, to form multi-disciplinary teams around business areas and large-scale strategic projects.

With a behavioural science (psychology/sociology & anthropology) approach to organisations, we work with business strategy, organisational culture & human dynamics to progress commercial outputs. Edgar Schein's Process Consulting is a central to our work.

What will you be doing?

• Develop a range of organisational development activities and interventions, aimed at improving the overall effectiveness of the organisational system.
• Collaborate closely with the Executive Committee (Exco) to design and implement an OD plan for the organisation.
• Consult with key stakeholders across the organisation, managing the portfolio of work.
• Prioritise the promotion of [Employer hidden]'s culture and the transformational agenda of the organisation.
• Partner with the Chief Strategy Officer to ensure the OD function supports the organisation's group strategy.
• Support the development of a learning culture, helping the organisation become more adaptive, reflective, and human-centered.
• Work alongside other P&O consultants and Strategy teams to integrate OD into broader transformation efforts.

Experience, skills and capability:

• Strong grounding in Edgar Schein's Process Consulting approach:
• Humble inquiry
• Relationship-first consulting
• Joint diagnosis and emergent intervention
• Systems thinking—ability to see patterns across levels (individual, team, culture, system).
• Group process facilitation—sensitivity to dynamics, energy, resistance, and flow.
• High emotional intelligence—ability to track both spoken and unspoken signals.
• Comfort with ambiguity, emergence, and not knowing—staying present without rushing to fix.
• Ability to build trust quickly and hold complexity without judgment.

What are we looking for?

• Undergraduate qualification in Organisational, Social, or Clinical Psychology with knowledge of organisational behaviour, group dynamics, and unconscious processes.
• Master's degree (preferred) in psychology or behavioural sciences related to organisations (e.g., Organisation Development/Design, Counselling Psychology, Coaching Psychology).
• Strong grasp of Systems Theory for organisational effectiveness.
• Skilled in interpretive, thematic analysis (not reliant on quantitative toolkits).
• Demonstrable OD consultancy experience in complex commercial environments.
• Knowledgeable in Social and Organisational Psychology, and Organisation Development.
• Process Consultation expertise.
• Proficient at diagnosing organisational issues and performance barriers.
• Experience designing and facilitating OD interventions.
• Group Facilitation expert.
• Familiarity with [Employer hidden]'s strategy, structure, values, and culture.
• Strong consulting, communication, interpersonal, and budgeting skills.

As part of our collaborative & agile culture, our working week is 4 days in the office and one day remote.
