As our campus HR Manager, you will take operational ownership of our HR landscape. Backed by the expertise and model policies of Camden HR, you will provide clear guidance to senior leadership, manage recruitment and onboarding, and keep our workforce practices running smoothly.

• Operational HR Lead: Serve as the primary liaison between school leadership, trade unions, and Camden HR advisors for employee relations, casework, and policy implementation.
• Talent & Recruitment: Coordinate end-to‑end safer recruitment, draft adverts, oversee candidate pipelines, manage onboarding, and maintain strict compliance across our Single Central Record (SCR).
• Employee Relations & Performance: Manage absentence procedures with care and clarity, support line managers through capability/disciplinary processes, and oversee annual appraisal cycles and probation reviews.
• Staff Wellbeing: Champion initiatives that make our campus an exceptional place to work, including Occupational Health referrals, Employee Assistance Programmes, and health/cycle schemes.
• Compliance & Records: Ensure all HR data, contracts, and policies comply with current employment law, safeguarding standards, and data protection guidelines.
