What skills and experience we're looking for
Truro and Penwith Academy Trust is a high performing and successful Trust made up of 41 primary and secondary schools in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. We are looking for an inspiring HR Advisor with a proven track record to join our team.
You will be expected to provide expert advice and guidance to our schools on a diverse range of HR issues and queries, ensuring compliance with all statutory requirements and Trust policies.
You will work closely with managers, building excellent relationships and supporting them in effectively and efficiently managing all employee relations matters eg staff attendance, capability, disciplinary, flexible working, special leave etc in line with legislation and policy within a reasonable timeline and to an appropriate resolution.
About You:
You will ideally be CIPD qualified or have extensive recent experience working in a similar role to be able to deliver well thought out, clear, practical HR advice to senior leaders and managers.
You will be able to work autonomously to manage casework and will have up to date knowledge of employment law and practices. A knowledge of teacher’s terms and conditions of employment would be an advantage.
The role is a hybrid working model, spending time in the office, working from home and will involve working with an Assistant Director of Education for a cluster of our schools and will involve travelling to TPAT schools on a regular basis to meet with Headteachers and other school staff.
This is a part-time role working 22.5 hours a week over 52 weeks (days and hours of work can be discussed during the interview process).
