What skills and experience we're looking for

HR Business Partner - Camberley, Sunbury, Epsom and Banstead

Are you a HR Professional that enjoys Employee Relations casework and wants to make a real difference to the schools in our Multi-Academy Trust?

We are excited to offer a fantastic opportunity for a proactive and dynamic HR Business Partner. This role will have a significant impact for schools by addressing HR casework, as well as contributing to the implementation of an ambitious People strategy.

Your opportunity

Your role will be to lead employee relations cases across your schools, supporting leaders with practical advice and guidance in line with current legislation.

You will approach your work with professionalism, demonstrating skill and confidence in addressing and challenging team cultures and behaviours to ensure they align with the Trust’s values.

You will work as part of a highly skilled team of HR Business Partners, reporting to the Director of Employee Relations. You will collaborate with other operational partners and the broader People team, with opportunities to engage in project work.

You will support Schools in Region B which covers Camberley, Sunbury, Epsom and Banstead.

This is a full-time all year school-based position. Whilst visits to schools within Region B will be required to support some elements of casework, using Teams and Zoom will be integral to the role.
