My client, a School based in the Tonbridge area, is looking to recruit an HR Manager to work closely with the Headteacher and wider SLT, to oversee the school’s operational HR function.  

Overseeing a small team, this role will lead on operational HR support for the school, acting as the primary point of contact for all staff on HR matters across the full employee life cycle, to include ER management, casework, appraisals and performance management, training and development and policy compliance across the school including any employment law changes.
