School HR Manager

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a suitably experienced HR Manager to join my client on a temporary basis, an educational institution based in Surrey.

Within this role you will report directly to the Head and wider SLT, to ensure the implementation of an HR Strategy that develops and supports the overall strategic plan, undertake workforce planning research, support and advise on all ER issues and keep all relevant parties informed on any employment law and related policy amendments. Leading a team of 4, in this role, you’ll provide professional, efficient, confidential and proactive guidance and support to the wider team, in areas including disciplinary matters, grievance, absence management, restructuring and change management.

Applications are sought from experienced HR candidates with a strong generalist and education background, with team management experience. CIPD qualifications are strongly preferred and whilst experience of the education sector would be an advantage, those who can bring innovation and creativity on people practise from other sectors are very welcomed to apply. The successful candidate will also possess a high level of diplomacy and problem-solving skills.

My client is looking to fill this role as a matter of urgency so you must be available immediately or at short notice.
