HR Adviser - Maternity Cover

You’ll deal with a full range of human resources matters to support business objectives. You’ll provide advice that is consistent with employer policies/procedures, employment law, best practice, and which meets statutory requirements and agreed service standards.
There is a strong focus on casework but you will also be involved in updating policy, organisational change projects and responding to telephone or email queries.
You’ll represent the Schools and Traded Services HR Team at a range of meetings, consultations, interviews and hearings (including sickness, gross misconduct/dismissal).
You will join a small, committed team and be required to travel to school sites. Some of the work can be done remotely but a regular office presence each week is also expected.
About you
