HR Business Partner

Dedicate Recruitment supports this medium size Trust of 18 schools set across central Midlands in the search for a visionary HR Business Partner.

This newly created role is part of a small team of five and is instrumental in providing a continued first-class HR service to senior leaders and staff within the Trust.

Reporting to the HR Director, the HR Business Partner will be instrumental in the development and delivery of high-quality practices, policies and procedures to staff and senior leaders which reflect the best HR practice.

Responsibilities include:

• Focus on HR and Payroll advisory service to schools
• Policy development and strategic projects on recruitment and retention, well-being and Equality, Diversity & Inclusion
• Ensure the effective operation of HR systems and processes for the full employee lifecycle
• Ensuring compliance with employment law
• Be the lead adviser to the SLT on the implementation and review of the Trust suite of HR Policies and frameworks
• Leading a team of three staff

The successful candidate will be a chartered member of the CIPD or working towards this, coupled with two- or three years of experience operating at a senior management level. You will be conversant in developing HR policies aligned with current employment law.

You will possess a sound working knowledge of generalist HR processes and complex ER cases, with the natural ability to quickly develop positive relationships. You can analyse and interpret complex data confidently, coupled with a high standard of communication, both written and verbal.

You must be a car driver/owner as this role requires visits to all the schools within the Trust.

This is a hybrid role with the potential to be based in a local school when required to be school-based, and an all year through role, 37 hours per week.

Experience within the education sector is preferable, however, the client is open to receiving applications from the care and not-for-profit sectors.

In return, you will be joining a supportive employer which is an advocate in promoting well-being and professional development.

Immediate interviews for suitable candidates.
