Tallented are delighted to be working with a Multi Academy Trust client to search with Education sector/transferable public sector experience for a People Partner on an initial 12 month contract basis

To support the Executive Director - People in delivering a high-quality HR business partnering service to the assigned schools, actively contributing to the effective implementation of the people strategy, priorities and wider organisational objectives.

The role will have a customer-centric approach with their primary client group (school/unit line managers) and provide day to day client relationship management and service delivery. The role will work closely with colleagues across the Trusts central team to ensure the people needs of the school/assigned unit are met.

We are looking for a partner who will support the school leaders in the implementation of the Trusts people policies and procedures, including recruitment, onboarding, safer recruitment compliance, performance management, absence management, pay, well-being and employee relations.

The partner should be comfortable in challenging the schools senior leaders appropriately, and guiding them on best practice.
