About This Role
As a People Partner at King's Group Academies, you'll play a key role in helping our leaders create thriving schools where colleagues feel supported, valued and able to perform at their best. Working across our Central Team and academies in Portsmouth and Sussex, you'll partner with Headteachers and senior leaders to provide expert advice on complex people matters, build leadership capability and support organisational change.
This is a business partnering role, focused on strategic HR rather than transactional processes. You'll coach leaders through employee relations matters, workforce planning, restructures, organisational development and change, while working collaboratively with our HR Operations team to ensure an excellent service 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'll be joining a forward-thinking People Team that is transforming how HR supports our academies. If you enjoy building trusted relationships, influencing senior leaders and making a genuine difference to organisational culture, this is an exciting opportunity to help shape the future of our growing Trust. Guided by our values of Honesty, Faith and Courage, you'll have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on both our colleagues and the children and communities we serve.
About You
We're looking for an experienced HR professional who is passionate about partnering with leaders to achieve positive people outcomes. You'll be confident handling complex employee relations cases, providing commercially sound and legally compliant advice, and coaching managers to develop their confidence and capability.
You'll bring a collaborative approach, excellent relationship-building skills and the confidence to challenge constructively when needed. Whether supporting organisational change, influencing senior stakeholders or delivering Trust-wide initiatives, you'll be pragmatic, resilient and solutions-focused.
