HR Consultant / HR Generalist
Multi-Academy Trust | North West & Yorkshire | £38,000–£43,000 DOE | Hybrid
Mission Search is partnering with a large and expanding Multi-Academy Trust to recruit an experienced HR Consultant / HR Generalist to provide hands-on HR support across its growing network of schools.
This is initially a 4-month fixed-term contract, with a genuine opportunity for the role to become permanent. An immediate start is available.
The role
Working as part of the Trust's HR function, you'll provide practical, responsive HR support to leaders and managers across a number of schools in the North West and Yorkshire.
It's a broad generalist position with a particular focus on employee relations and performance management. You'll build relationships with leaders across the Trust, helping them manage people issues effectively while ensuring a consistent and pragmatic approach to HR.
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.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Managing a varied employee relations caseload, including absence, disciplinary, grievance, and capability matters
- Advising and coaching managers through performance management and people issues
- Providing hands-on generalist HR support throughout the employee lifecycle
- Working closely with school and central leaders to provide practical, commercially-minded HR advice
- Supporting HR projects and wider people initiatives as the Trust continues to grow
- Helping ensure HR policies and processes are applied consistently across different schools and locations
What we're looking for
We're looking for an experienced HR professional who is comfortable managing their own workload and providing confident advice to managers.
You'll ideally have strong ER and generalist HR experience, with the ability to build credibility quickly with stakeholders at different levels.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Previous experience within education or a Multi-Academy Trust would be advantageous, but isn't essential if you have the right generalist and ER background.
As the role involves traveling between different Trust sites across the North West and Yorkshire, you'll need to drive and have access to your own vehicle.
What's on offer?
- Salary: £38,000–£43,000 depending on experience
- Contract: 4-month FTC, with a view to becoming permanent
- Working pattern: Hybrid – typically around 3 days working from home and 2 days across Trust sites
- Location: North West & Yorkshire
- Start: Immediate start available
This could be a particularly good opportunity for an HR Advisor, HR Consultant, or HR Business Partner who enjoys being hands-on with ER and working directly with managers, while also wanting the flexibility of predominantly home-based working.
