Are you an experienced HR Advisor with strong employee relations and TUPE knowledge? Trinity House Group is recruiting an Interim HR Advisor for a well established multi academy trust based in Tamworth, providing HR support to primary schools during a major transfer programme across the West Midlands.

About the role

This is a great opportunity for an HR Advisor or HR Business Partner with education or public sector experience to support a trust through a significant period of change. You will act as the first point of contact for primary school leaders, working alongside senior HR advisers and escalating more complex matters as needed.

Key responsibilities

• Acting as the first line point of contact for primary school head teachers and leaders, with a clear escalation route for anything significant.
• Building rapport and credibility quickly with school leaders, particularly across schools identified as needing more support.
• Supporting due diligence work ahead of transfer, including single central record accuracy and data checks.
• Supporting meetings with incoming trusts as schools progress through the rebrokering process.
• Managing a growing caseload of employee relations matters, including TUPE related queries, working proactively to resolve issues before they escalate.
• Working alongside senior HR advisors and business partners to ensure consistent HR support across the trust.
• Supporting managers, many of whom are new to people management, with day to day HR queries.

What we are looking for

• Solid HR Advisor experience, ideally within education, the public sector or a multi site organisation.
• Strong employee relations experience; TUPE experience is a strong advantage given the transfer programme.
• Flexible and resilient, comfortable operating during a period of ongoing organisational change.
• Confident managing low level HR queries independently and clear on when to escalate.
• Able to build credibility quickly with senior school leaders and manage multiple relationships.

Why apply

• Immediate start available, ideal for an HR Advisor between contracts.
• Meaningful project experience supporting a large scale school transfer programme.
• Competitive day rate with the option of a fixed term contract.
• Hybrid working with flexibility around core hours.
