Our organisation is growing and we're looking for an HR professional with the right skills and values to join our team. You will proactively support the development of our ‘people’ practices across the Trust; contributing to the provision of the highest possible educational opportunities for children and young people across our communities. We are looking for a team player who is equally able to work autonomously. You will be a positive, collaborative, robust and enthusiastic individual with a track record of coaching and guiding managers to achieve effective people management solutions. Your ability to quickly build rapport and credibility and develop effective working relationships will compliment your flexible, outcome focused and resilient approach to supporting organisational change and development.
You will either be:
- an experienced adviser or a Business Partner seeking an opportunity to be proactively involved in developing an HR hub for a group of academies with potential opportunities for further professional development as the Trust continues to grow.
- or a seasoned HR professional looking to play a lead role in developing an HR hub for a group of academies with potential opportunities for further professional development as the Trust continues to grow.
- You will provide a credible, customer focused, HR service to leadership teams and staff within a designated group of schools; working collaboratively with local leadership teams, providing efficient, professional and effective HR advice and strategies to facilitate the achievement of local and Trust objectives. You will also lead the provision of a high quality efficient and effective Trust HR Administration function for your group of schools and for coaching and developing line manager’s people management practice to guide them to effective solutions. Working closely with the HR colleagues you will aid the development of systems and policies that are aligned with academy and Trust strategies and development plans.
Above all, at Sussex Learning Trust you'll have the chance to make a difference to the educational experience and outcomes for children across our communities.
