Tapestry Learning Partnership is a new and ambitious education Trust with a strong commitment to people, culture, and wellbeing. We’re building a connected, collaborative organisation where colleagues feel supported, valued, and proud to belong. Joining us now means helping to shape that culture from the ground up.
Join us on an exciting journey of transformation and excellence. At Tapestry Learning Partnership, we believe in the power of education to change lives. Formed in January 2026 through the merger of two strong trusts, QEGSMAT and Djanogly Learning Trust, we are building a future where every child succeeds and flourishes.
About The Role
We are looking for a highly organised and people-focused People & Culture Assistant to provide essential administrative and operational support across the Trust.
This varied role covers all core HR processes including recruitment, onboarding, payroll changes, HR data, absence recording, compliance, and first-line HR enquiries. You’ll play a key part in ensuring our processes are accurate, efficient, and aligned with safer recruitment, safeguarding, and statutory requirements.
It’s an excellent opportunity for someone looking to begin or grow a career in People & Culture/H.R, offering hands-on experience across the employee lifecycle, clear development pathways, and support from an experienced team.
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.

What We Offer
- A welcoming, collaborative, People & Culture Team
- Professional development and HR training opportunities
- Clear pathways to progress within the Trust
- A strong commitment to wellbeing and work-life balance
