The Role

The Alliance Schools Trust is seeking a proactive and personable HR Advisor to join our HR team and play a key role in supporting staff across our Trust’s schools in Milton Keynes.

As a HR Advisor, you’ll work closely with Headteachers and senior leaders to provide advice, guidance and hands-on support across all areas of HR in your allocated school(s). From employee relations and absence management to performance and change management, you’ll help to ensure that our staff feel supported, valued and empowered to thrive.

You’ll also contribute to wider Trust initiatives, including staff wellbeing initiatives, succession planning and the coordination of professional development. Whether it’s supporting a colleague through a challenging time or celebrating career milestones, you’ll be a trusted professional, guiding and supporting staff through every stage of their journey with us.

We are looking for someone who sees the bigger picture: that great schools are built on great people, and that your work in HR truly helps make that happen.

The ideal candidate will be CIPD qualified (or working towards it) or have significant relevant experience with a strong understanding of HR processes and employment law. Experience working in the public sector, particularly the education sector, is highly desirable.
