Rank 4 points 1-6 £42,429 - £46,431 per annum FTE.
Start date: ASAP
The central HR team within the People at Transform is a small, experienced and supportive team who provide an essential service to our schools and the Trusts Head Office. Due to growth we wish to move to a Partnership approach where each Business Partner will deliver a comprehensive HR service to a group of 8-10 schools, working closely with individual school leaders and the schools within their Partnership group. You will also work on national Trust wide projects and initiatives. The key will be to coach, support and enable highly effective practice at school level.
The role is fast paced, wide-ranging and varied so flexibility and a willingness to learn new things is a must. You will ideally be CIPD qualified or have significant experience in dealing with complex employee relations cases, up to and including dismissal (e.g. disciplinary, grievance, absence, capability) plus re-structures and TUPE conversions, all within an education or similar setting. You should be up to date and familiar with employment law and best practice.
Flexible working is a feature of this role, including an option to work partially from home, flexible start and finish times or term time only will be considered. The successful candidate will be an integral part of the head office team. In order to successfully provide business partner support there will be a requirement for the post holder to travel to schools within their partnership area, therefore being Nottingham based is not essential as we cover North Nottinghamshire and Derby Schools.
Ideally You Will
Have substantial experience of providing effective and practical advice around the full range of complex employee relations case work (grievance, disciplinary, health & absence management, performance management, LADO referrals), working with trade unions, and advising managers on a breadth of people issues, up to & including dismissal
Experience of handling significant change processes, including restructure / redundancy, and TUPE transfers.
High level of knowledge & understanding of policy, procedure, employment law and good practice in relation to education HR.
Be an experienced individual with drive and enthusiasm to work as a valued member of the team with a strong focus on working together to achieve results.
Have a real passion for working within an education environment, able to influence and provide support locally to schools
Can build strong collaborative relationships and credibility with both central Head Office and school-based colleagues as well as being able to coach and support others.
Have a solution focussed approach, keen to support our schools to fulfil their school improvement plans through their staffing
