We're looking for an experienced HR Manager to join our team supporting academy schools

You'll help drive school improvement and culture change through 'high challenge, high support' professional HR advice across the full employee life-cycle. This will involve leading on-site HR colleagues to ensure excellent HR practice within the academies, and proactively working with senior leadership teams across our academies in the Stoke & Staffordshire region.

You'll be working closely with the Regional Director, Executive Headteachers, and Headteachers, to review each academy's HR strategy and support the implementation of changes, where required. We're looking for someone who'll have a clear impact on staff wellbeing, absence management and engagement/retention outcomes. You'll also be managing complex employee relations cases and trade union relations, facilitating organisational development, and upskilling line managers in HR management practice.

Reporting to the Chief People Officer, you'll be an active member of our wider Regional HR Manager team, working across our organisation as a whole to support casework, deliver training, shape our policies and procedures, and lead on HR workstreams.

This is a great opportunity for someone looking to broaden their HR experience in a friendly and supportive team. We're a growing academy-trust, with co-operative values at the heart of everything we do. Colleague wellbeing (work/life balance), equality, diversity & inclusion, and continuing professional development are important to us.

CIPD qualified (or equivalent), you must have depth & breadth of experience advising and delivering on a wide range of employee issues, including highly complex casework, absence management, and recruitment & retention, within the public sector. A pragmatic team-player with great organisational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to drive work forward on your own initiative, you're able to build strong working relationships with, and influence the work of others, and are flexible, self-motivated & resilient.

Although based mainly in the Stoke area, occasional travel to other academies (including West Yorkshire, Greater Manchester and Merseyside) will be required. Own transport is highly desirable, and a willingness to travel and work flexibly (with due notice) is essential.
