Reporting to: People Director
Hours: 37 hours per week, Monday to Friday (52 weeks)
Salary: KGA Support Staff Pay Scale, Points 27-31, £45,091 - £49,282
At KGA, our people are at the heart of everything we do. We are proud to be a Trust that is
values-led, forward-looking and committed to creating a culture where every colleague can thrive. Guided by our values of Honesty, Faith and Courage, we support our staff to achieve their full potential and, in turn, to provide the very best opportunities for the children and communities we
serve.
This role represents an exciting opportunity to make a real impact—both within your professional field and across the wider Trust. You will be joining a team that is collaborative, ambitious, and motivated by the belief that education has the power to transform lives.
We are looking for individuals who are not only skilled and experienced, but also passionate about shaping a positive, inclusive and high-performing culture. If you share our commitment to openness, integrity and continuous improvement, I encourage you to consider applying.
About us
At King's Group Academies (KGA), we share a vision of a global community of pupils and colleagues whose connections broaden horizons and foster understanding. We are passionate about working collaboratively—within our UK communities and more widely—to promote international citizenship. We believe every pupil deserves teachers and colleagues who are deeply committed to their success, and we achieve this through strong partnerships with parents and carers who hold us to account.
Collaboration is at the heart of our work. Our colleagues share expertise and drive strategy across a range of Trust-wide forums, covering Teaching & Learning, Safeguarding, Curriculum, International, HR, Finance and more. Headteachers also come together regularly through our Headteacher Board to support one another and share best practice. Alongside these forums, Senior Leadership Teams are empowered by their Local Governing Bodies and supported by our central team.
Each of our academies has its own identity, history and context, which we embrace and celebrate. What unites us is a shared commitment to continuous improvement and educational excellence. Together, we are working towards opportunity and success on a global stage for every pupil.
We currently comprise fifteen academies across Berkshire, Hampshire and Sussex. By joining our central team, you will play an active role in supporting and visiting these academies as needed. As a Trust, we are committed to sustainable growth and school improvement, building strong foundations for our leaders to deliver our mission: to equip all pupils with the confidence, knowledge, skills and values they need to thrive in the modern world.
About the role
As People Partner for our Berkshire academies, you will work closely with senior leadership teams to provide proactive, solution-focused HR support on strategic and complex people matters. Your focus will be on building leadership capability, managing employee relations, supporting organisational development, and driving positive cultural outcomes—distinct from the day-to-day transactional processes delivered by our HR Operations team. Through high-quality advice, coaching and challenge, you will contribute to a positive, inclusive and high-performing culture—supporting the Trust's vision of Opportunity and Success on a Global Stage.
Guided by our values of Honesty, Faith, and Courage, you will build trusted relationships through openness, transparency, and integrity, show belief in the potential of every colleague, foster a culture of encouragement and growth, and approach challenges with resilience and determination, enabling leaders and teams to navigate change with confidence. The role places strong emphasis on coaching and partnering with leaders to build local capacity and drive positive people outcomes.
Our offer to you
At KGA, we highly value our people and are committed to creating a positive, inclusive, and supporting working environment.

A few of the benefits available to you when working at KGA are:
