• Advise on policy, terms and conditions and best practice for teaching and support staff
• Work closely with senior HR advisors and business partners as part of a supportive central team

• HR advisory experience within the education sector, ideally schools or academies (essential)
• Confident handling queries independently and knowing when to escalate
• Able to build rapport and credibility quickly with school leaders
• Knowledge of teaching and support staff terms and conditions
• Exposure to TUPE or academy conversions is an advantage
• Flexible, resilient and comfortable with change
• Enhanced DBS, ideally on the update service (we can support with this if needed)
