£60k (Negotiable)
ASAP start (all notice periods considered)
Hybrid with site visits London/Essex
Are you a HR Manager, HR Leader, HR Director with MAT experience seeking a new role? Perhaps you are restricted to a school office and would now like the flexibility of a hybrid role? Are you confident with digital systems and website management? Do you have substantial HR experience at senior level and have handled complex casework?
The Trust
Founded in the last ten years, this trust of SEND schools includes a variety of SEND schools, both pre-dating the trust and brand-new ones they have opened. The trust caters for students with social emotional and mental health needs and associated autism and behavioural needs. At present, they have a few schools in the building and development stage, but once all schools are open, they will have a substantial number of pupils in their education, some of whom will also be residential.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The trust are passionate about nurturing their staff and ensuring they have excellent retention and succession planning. They have ambitions to become one of the leading SEND MATs in the country and plan to grow by at least one school a year so there is further scope in this role.
The Deputy HR Director role
The HR Director has a very busy role including communications and marketing so they are looking for someone who can deputise in other areas including website management.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
The role is hybrid but will include at least 2 days a week in HR hubs within a Central London and a South London school. There would also be requirements to travel to other schools in South West and Essex so your own car is desirable.
School HR experience is a must for this role and ideally you will have experience in a trust that has specialist settings.
