Job description

Be part of a team working on the future of education, where staff development and sustainable employability are paramount.

This vacancy is for maternity cover.

What will you do?
As an HR adviser, you are part of the specialist HR team. You work independently, yet you also collaborate closely with the two other HR advisers, the Learning and Development adviser, the HR team leader and four colleagues in personnel administration. We work together on three key strategic HR themes: the learning organisation, leadership and sustainable employability. As an HR adviser, you play a pivotal role in shaping this policy, working on areas such as vitality, professional growth and career opportunities for employees. You contribute to a culture in which shared leadership, ownership and results-oriented working go hand in hand. As an HR adviser, you are the strategic sparring partner for our managers across all sub-areas of the HR profession. No day is the same: you switch smoothly between operational support and tactical or strategic personnel and organisational issues. Through your efforts, you contribute to optimising the quality and quantity of the workforce. In doing so, you manage to strike a balance between people-oriented engagement and organisational interests. You take part in various internal and external consultations, analyse relevant trends and (statutory) developments in the field to formulate proposals for policies and procedures. Examples include absence management, sustainable employability, employment conditions and legal status, recruitment and selection, performance management and appraisal, and training and development issues. We will discuss which projects align with your experience, talents and interests.

With your dedication, you elevate HR policy to a higher level and contribute to our mission to create a safe, learning environment for both pupils and staff. Together with your colleagues, you ensure that our workforce remains healthy, motivated and agile.
