Level 7

Senior People Professional

HR Leaders play a critical role in the fast-paced modern workplace.

They set the vision, direction and priorities of the HR function and take the initiative in future-proofing organisations through transformation, talent-planning and innovation.

Investing in the skills of the HR leaders enables organisations to navigate complex challenges, to seize opportunities for growth, and to deliver on their strategic organisational goals.

Who is it for?

This programme is built for those who are ready to prove their capability as senior HR leaders, operating at a strategic level. Although not a requirement for eligibility, it is perfect for those who already hold a Level 5 CIPD qualification. It is also suitable for those with significant experience at operational/manager level and who want to take the next step of development, but through a vocational learning route.

Learners may, for example, be the HR lead for a small or medium-sized organisation; they may also be an HR Business Partner or Senior HR Business Partner within a large organisation, or lead a specific function of a large people team.

The key consideration is that learners on this programme have the support of their employer to showcase strategic influence, management and senior responsibility within the HR function.
