Job Description
Artis HR is supporting a leading organisation in the education sector to recruit a proactive and confident HR Advisor to join their central team. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in employee relations and enjoys partnering closely with managers on complex, sensitive and sometimes challenging cases, while still wanting exposure to a broader range of HR activity.
This position is fully on-site and requires a full UK driving licence, as you'll be travelling to multiple sites within the Trust.
The Role
As HR Advisor, you'll play a key role within the central HR function, delivering high-quality, consistent advice across several schools. The role has a strong ER focus, with responsibility for supporting managers through:
Sickness and absence management
Disciplinaries, grievances and performance concerns
Investigations, hearings and appeals
Occupational Health liaison and welfare meetings
Return-to-work plans and stress risk assessments
Alongside the ER work, you'll also contribute to a range of wider HR activity, including policy development, safer recruitment compliance, organisational change projects, and HR-related training across the Trust.
What We're Looking For
Strong generalist HR background with significant ER casework experience
CIPD Level 5 (or equivalent)
Confident working with and influencing senior leaders
Excellent understanding of employment law and HR best practice
Experience in a multi-site environment is beneficial
Emotionally intelligent, resilient and able to build relationships quickly
Additional Information
This role is fully on-site (no hybrid or remote options)
Full UK driving licence required for occasional site travel
Visa sponsorship is not available, applicants must already have the right to work in the UK
Ready to develop your ER expertise within a supportive HR team? Apply today or get in touch with Artis HR for a confidential conversation.
