What skills and experience we're looking for
This is an excellent time to join Think Differently Education Trust as we continue to implement a strategic vision developed by young people, staff, and other stakeholders. Join us to ‘Think Differently’ to inspire young people to overcome all barriers and achieve their dreams.
Think Differently Education Trust is a newly formed Multi-Academy Trust based in a variety of locations across the City of Birmingham. During a school year, we educate over 3,000 young people for periods ranging from a few days in hospital to several years in one of our teaching centres.
Many of our young people have complex medical needs and many have been out of education for a significant period prior to joining us. We offer a full-time curriculum to young people from EYFS to KS5 and our aim is always to enable them to ‘close the gap’ and to exceed expected progress during the time they are with us.
We're not just building a Trust— we're building a community where people thrive.
At Think Differently Education Trust, we believe great HR goes beyond policies and processes. That’s why we’re looking for a skilled and motivated HR Advisor who can deliver high-quality, people-first HR support across our growing multi-academy trust.
In this varied and rewarding role, you’ll be the first point of contact for leaders, lead recruitment activity, support wellbeing initiatives, and help us continue to develop a strong, values-led culture. If you’re CIPD qualified (or willing to work towards it), love solving problems, and want to be part of something meaningful — this is the opportunity for you.
