A warm welcome to Newham Community Learning.

Together, our schools employ almost 700 people, and educate more than 5,000 students. We are a new Trust, formed in September last year further to the successful merger of two local predecessor organisations.
We have a Central Team, located at Eastlea Community School in Canning Town, which works to support the needs of all our schools.
About the role
We are looking for a Trust HR Director to join our team and to support the development of the Trust’s HR strategy - the key elements of which are the highly professional provision of employee relations advice, staff CPD and career progression, staff wellbeing, the development of staff policies for use across the Trust, and the design and delivery of efficient and effective HR processes to support our people.
We will:
- Welcome you to a team of people, all of whom are totally committed to delivering a useful, effective and efficient service to our schools, so supporting them to provide the best possible outcomes for the children and young people in their care.

- Have significant experience working at a senior level in a large organisation; and
- Be very comfortable with digital systems and processes.
The role is full-time (52 weeks per year) and will be based at our Trust Office - but for the right candidate, we would consider offering some flexibility around both hours of work and work location. Travel to our schools (all within a ten minute cycle ride from each other) will be part of the role.
Our Offer:
