A top-performing primary school in Redbridge is looking to appoint an experienced HR Manager to join its leadership support team on a full-time, permanent basis from September 2026.
This is an outstanding opportunity to become part of a forward-thinking school that recognises its people are its greatest asset. Working alongside the Headteacher and School Business Manager, you'll lead the school's HR function, helping to shape a positive workplace culture while ensuring the highest standards of compliance, employee engagement, and staff development.
If you're an HR professional who enjoys influencing strategy as much as delivering operational excellence, this role offers the opportunity to make a genuine impact within a successful and supportive school community.
You'll lead all aspects of Human Resources, providing expert advice and ensuring HR practices support both the school's strategic objectives and the wellbeing of its employees.
Key responsibilities include:
Leading recruitment, onboarding, and safer recruitment processes
Providing expert guidance on employee relations, attendance management, disciplinary, grievance, and capability matters
Developing and reviewing HR policies in line with current employment legislation
Managing contracts, HR systems, personnel records, and payroll changes
Producing workforce data and reports to support strategic decision-making
Leading initiatives to improve staff wellbeing, engagement, and retention
Supporting organisational development and workforce planning
Working closely with senior leaders to foster a positive and high-performing workplace culture
This highly successful primary school is recognised for its strong leadership, excellent staff retention, and commitment to creating an outstanding working environment. Professional development is actively encouraged, collaboration is embedded across the school, and every member of staff is valued for the contribution they make to the school's continued success.
Applications are welcomed from experienced HR Managers, HR Business Partners, Senior HR Advisors, or experienced HR professionals seeking to lead HR within an ambitious educational setting.
You'll have excellent knowledge of UK employment law, experience managing complex HR casework, and the confidence to advise senior leaders on a broad range of people matters. Strong interpersonal skills, discretion, and the ability to build trusted relationships across the organisation are essential.
As part of the school's safer recruitment procedures, references from your current (or most recent) employer and a previous employer will be required before an interview can be arranged.
£50,000–£60,000 per annum
Full-time, permanent position
September 2026 start
Local Government Pension Scheme
Outstanding CPD and leadership development opportunities
Employee wellbeing and assistance programme
Flexible working arrangements where operationally appropriate
Free on-site parking
The school is interviewing as soon as suitable applications are received, so early applications are encouraged.
If you're looking for an opportunity to lead HR within a high-achieving primary school where you'll help shape culture, develop people, and contribute to long-term success, we'd love to hear from you. Submit your CV today for immediate consideration.
