**ABOUT THIS OPPORTUNITY**
We are looking for an experienced internal recruiter to join our established central Talent Acquisition Team based at our Head Office in East Croydon. This is an excellent opportunity to join the leading large Multi Academy Trust (MAT) in the country where your role will have a real impact on the young people in our 54 schools across London.

You will be responsible for embedding and sharing best practice recruitment techniques with colleagues, hiring managers and senior leaders across the Federation to help attract and secure high calibre individuals with values that align with the ethos of the Federation. Reporting to the Head of TA, you will line manage a Talent Acquisition Coordinator.

We offer lifestyle friendly working arrangements including flexible start and end times, and hybrid working with two days (Tuesday and Thursday) work from home. You will work closely with our academies and will be expected to travel to their sites in and around London.

This is a fantastic opportunity to be part of a highly collaborative team and join an organisation that is leading the way in making a difference for disadvantaged young people and communities.

**WORKING WITH US**
The founder and sponsor of the Harris Federation, Lord Harris of Peckham, opened our first school in 1990. We have, over the past thirty years, implemented ideas and initiatives that have transformed the opportunities of pupils from working class and disadvantaged backgrounds. Harris academies are widely recognised as a force for social mobility. We are immensely proud of the role that our alumni are now beginning to play in the world and of what we believe our current generation of pupils will go on to achieve.

We now have 54 schools educating more than 40,000 young people across London and Essex, and employ over 5,000 staff across our academies and head office. With the majority of our academies located in areas of high socioeconomic disadvantage, a high-quality education is key to the futures of the pupils we serve.

As a provider of employment and education, we value the diversity of our staff and students, and all our staff are equally valued and respected. We are committed to providing a fair, equitable and mutually supportive learning and working environment for our students and staff.

Our work will impact many generations to come, and our staff come from all backgrounds and walks of life, coming together to inspire young minds. We promote an inclusive culture that embraces the valuable and enriching contribution that all of our community make. We continue to be proactive in uplifting and supporting all voices at Harris.
