Your new company
Are you an experienced HR professional looking to make a real impact across education? We are partnering with a growing and values-driven Multi Academy Trust that is committed to creating outstanding learning environments for students while supporting and developing its people. With schools across North East Lincolnshire, Grimsby, and Lincoln, this is an exciting opportunity to join a collaborative HR team where your expertise will directly influence staff engagement, organisational success, and educational outcomes.
Your new role
As HR Business Partner, you will work closely with Principals, Senior Leaders, and Managers across multiple academy sites, delivering proactive, practical, and commercially focused HR support.
You will be the trusted advisor on a wide range of employee relations matters, including disciplinary, grievance, absence management, performance, investigations, and organisational change.
This is a varied and autonomous role where you will build strong stakeholder relationships, support complex casework, contribute to HR projects, advise on employment law, policy, and safeguarding matters, and help drive best practice across the Trust.
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.
You will also work with the Head of HR on the strategic side of the business, playing a key role in supporting restructures, TUPE projects, safer recruitment, and workforce initiatives that enable schools to attract, retain, and develop talented employees; as well as other future projects and strategies.
NB: The successful applicant needs to be compliance vetted to educational/DBS level standards prior to the start date. Please ask for further details about this process.
What you'll need to succeed
- CIPD Level 5 qualified or equivalent HR qualification.
- Experience operating at Senior/HR Advisor or HR Business Partner level.
- Strong employee relations experience, including complex case management.
- Excellent knowledge of UK employment law and HR best practice.
