What skills and experience we're looking for

Following the retirement of our highly successful HR Director, we are seeking to appoint a Director of People. The Director of People will lead on the development and implementation of a diocesan wide, sector leading People Strategy and drive the provision of a forward-thinking, responsive and progressive HR service whilst ensuring that all CMATs are compliant with policies, procedures and best practice.

This is a unique and exciting opportunity for someone looking for the next step in their HR career. The successful applicant will need to be CIPD qualified at Level 7 (or equivalent experience at senior HR level) together with the ability to demonstrate creative and strategically strong HR leadership skills and competence, alongside proven senior leadership experience of delivering positive change, building motivated teams and contributing at executive board level.

The Director of People will be employed by one of the CMATs but will work across all three and will be responsible for the line management of the three HR functions. The Director of People will enjoy close working relationships with CEOs, colleagues in central functions, headteachers, the CMAT Boards and the Director of Education for the Diocese of Nottingham. In addition to a competitive salary, there is a pension scheme, generous holiday, agile working and professional development.
