The role

Why join us?

This role offers the best of both worlds: the opportunity to make a visible impact within a school community while being part of a large, supportive and highly regarded HR network.

What we're looking for

We're looking for someone who:

Has substantial HR experience in a busy operational environment
Enjoys building trusted relationships with managers and leaders
Thrives in a fast-paced setting where priorities can change quickly
Is confident managing recruitment, interviews, onboarding, absence management and HR processes
Has strong knowledge of employment law and HR best practice
Can balance attention to detail with a pragmatic, solutions focused approach
Wants to continue developing their HR career with a supportive and ambitious organisation

School experience would be advantageous but is not essential. We welcome application from HR professionals who are looking to bring their expertise into education for the first time.

Join Us

If you're an experienced HR professional looking for a role with autonomy, variety, challenge and excellent professional support, we'd love to hear from you.

This is an opportunity to make a genuine difference in a school environment while developing your career within one of the UK's largest and most successful education groups.

In their own words

About the company & team

We are seeking an experienced HR professional to join our ambitious secondary school, Ernest Bevin Academy, as our dedicated HR Manager.

Do you enjoy working in a fast paced environment where no two days are the same? Working for us, you'll enjoy building strong relationships with leaders and staff and taking ownership of a broad and varied HR function. You'll need to be adaptable, resilient and comfortable managing competing priorities, as this is a role where plans can change quickly and every day brings something different.

As the school's HR Manager, you will be the go-to HR professional on site, working closely with senior leaders to deliver an excellent HR service. You will have genuine autonomy to manage HR operations across the school while playing a key role in recruitment, payroll administration, safeguarding compliance, employee wellbeing, absence management, workforce planning and HR processes.

Whilst you will lead HR within the school, you won't be working alone.

As part of a cluster of schools, you will receive support and guidance from an Executive Business Manager, HR Business Partner and wider central HR team, giving you access to expert advice on more complex employee relations matters and employment law issues, if needed.
