We are looking to appoint an experienced HR professional to lead the development and delivery of the HR function across our multi academy trust.  This is an exciting opportunity to influence the development of HR within an evolving and growing organisational context.

Our common values of respect, integrity, determination, equality of opportunity and self-management help instil a strong work ethic among staff and students alike and our supportive culture provides what many of our existing staff describe as a ‘family feel’ within our Trust.
