Nottingham City Centre (On-site) | £43,000 - £49,000 P/A with excellent benefits | Permanent

This is a genuinely pivotal role within a high-performing and supportive HR team at the heart of a vibrant, fast-paced education environment.

As HR Business Partner, you will be the go-to expert for employee relations, providing trusted, pragmatic advice to managers while ensuring a consistent, high-quality HR service across a diverse workforce of over 300 staff, with an even wider community including volunteers, coaches, and governors.

This is a varied, hands-on role where no two days look the same. From complex casework to coaching leaders, shaping policy, and contributing to engagement initiatives, you will play a key part in driving a positive, compliant and people-focused culture.

What You Will Be Doing

Employee Relations and Advisory

Managing a varied employee relations caseload including long-term absence, disciplinaries, grievances, flexible working and performance matters
Providing clear, consistent advice in line with employment law and best practice
Supporting sensitive and complex cases with professionalism and integrity

Coaching and Stakeholder Support

Building strong relationships with line managers across the organisation
Coaching and empowering leaders to confidently manage people issues
Supporting senior recruitment processes, including panel interviews

Policy and Compliance

Owning and developing HR policies, ensuring they remain compliant and up to date
Supporting safeguarding-related policies and compliance requirements
Playing a key role in maintaining robust HR standards across all staff and associated groups

People Experience and Engagement

Supporting employee engagement initiatives, including the annual staff survey
Helping to shape a positive and inclusive working environment
Overseeing employee benefits and contributing ideas to enhance the employee experience

HR Operations and Data

Maintaining accurate HR records and supporting payroll changes
Producing meaningful HR data and insights to inform decision-making
Supporting recruitment activities where needed

What We Are Looking For

CIPD Level 5 qualified or equivalent
Proven experience managing end-to-end employee relations casework
Strong understanding of UK employment law and HR best practice
Confident communicator with the ability to influence and build trust at all levels
Highly organised with excellent attention to detail
Comfortable working in a structured, compliance-focused environment

Experience in education is not essential. Adaptability and willingness to work within a regulated, safeguarding-driven setting is key.

What's in it for you:

This is an opportunity to make a real impact in a purpose-driven environment, where your work directly supports people and the wider community.

Benefits include

Onsite gym and swimming pool
High-quality school meals during term time
Private healthcare
Death in service three times salary
24 days holiday plus 5 days at Christmas plus 1 additional day and bank holidays

The Environment

You will be joining a supportive HR team with exposure to a wide range of people challenges, from day-to-day advisory work to complex case management. With a workforce spanning teaching staff, operational teams and a wider network of contributors, this role offers both breadth and depth.
