I am currently partnering with an Educational trust to recruit an Interim HR Manager to support them through a period of change. You will work working directly with a number of schools who have recently joined the trust to oversee, manage and deliver an effective service.

Key responsibilities will include;

• Provide expert advice and support to senior leaders in dealing with employee issues.
• Oversee and manage TUPE related HR processes pre and post an imminent merger.
• Review operational effectiveness of related systems, required resources, processes, procedures and working methods and where possible, manage the transition to support a centralised approach post-merger.
• Propose appropriate changes to ensure legal compliance or secure improvements to effectiveness and/or service delivery.
• Liaise with legal providers and unions as necessary on complex case management.
• Establish and maintain collaborative professional relationships both internally and externally Investigate and review employee issues, taking appropriate action when required advise and support with disciplinary and / or grievance issues and any subsequent tribunal cases.
• Oversee preparation where required ensuring these are well managed reflecting best practice and current employment legislation.

Candidates will have a background in education, ideally multi-academy trusts. You will have extensive knowledge and practical experience of TUPE as well as a strong generalist background. Whilst my client is currently working from home, when appropriate candidates will be expected to visit sites.
