We will trust you to actively promote and communicate Social Values to all stakeholders (including encouraging colleague commitment) across the business & be responsible for managing & reporting on multiple high-profile social value plans across the UK, which will include budget management to provide the cost-effective delivery of initiatives, produce analytical reports on a variety of metrics relating to the business & social values, and produce & present reports for the Executive Board Committee on Social Value & EDI.
