Our client is exceptionally aspirational for the young people it currently serves, and they are deeply committed to extending their work in order to have an even greater impact on educational outcomes for young people. Established in September 2016, the trust currently comprises three member schools located in two London Boroughs, Tower Hamlets and the Royal Borough of Greenwich.

We are happy to consider non-education HR, but the trust would prefer schools/HE experience as they feel it is the best fit. 

We are looking for a strong leader with great interpersonal skills, someone who is motivational and genuinely excited by the HR journey the Trust is on.

You will need resilience and strength of character, the trust HR department has undergone significant change and they require support to drive further change and support new processes, procedures and ways of working.

You will need to have strong operational experience throughout the HR life cycle and be able to lead and manage others with multiple deadlines whilst engaging and driving projects, managing day to day work and developing and supporting the team. There are a variety of projects, and the HR Director will require the post to lead and support as required whilst supporting strategic objectives.

This is a very exciting role, and you will need to work on your own initiative and support others whilst making their own mark on the organisation.

They thrive on challenge and desire a further move to more modern and initiative ways of working. The HR team and senior leadership require support to change the culture and build positive relationships with staff.

This is a very supportive organisation, and the role is something exciting but, challenging. They are a great team who need a strong inspirational operations manager. You will build on your skills and knowledge within this role, and the HR Director is very supportive of all learning and growing whenever possible.
