Are you passionate about ensuring that students from disadvantaged backgrounds have access to a life changing Quality of Education?
Do you have the experience, skills, insights and determination to contribute to the schools journey from good to outstanding alongside an inspirational and values driven senior leadership team?
We are excited to be recruiting for this vital role within our passionate, welcoming, and collaborative team. Working closely with the Academy Business Director, and members of the Senior Leadership Team you will, through your proactive, professional, and efficient approach, provide the team with expert knowledge, advice and guidance to deliver an exceptional HR service.

We understand that education is a ‘team sport’ and therefore are looking for someone who believes in building strong relationships and has a truly collaborative spirit. Someone who is proactive, dedicated, and able to make informed decisions independently, whilst also having the confidence to know when it is appropriate to seek the relevant expertise and support of colleagues.

This role will involve managing various areas of HR, including recruitment, employee relations, performance management, absence management, training and organisational change. It is a role that comes with significant responsibility but also provides an exciting opportunity for someone to work with autonomy, with appropriate support, to develop their own approaches to the management of HR in a warm, well-regarded and high-performing academy within a growing multi-academy trust.
