Job description

Team Leader Human Resources & Organization (HR/P&O) | 0.6–0.8 FTE

Atlas College – Hoorn, Edam, Medemblik

Do you want to lead a team of professionals and contribute as a strategic partner to the development of people, schools and the entire organization?

Atlas College is looking for an experienced team leader for people and organization, who will also provide guidance for the further development of the field, be a strong partner for the management team and the location directors, and together with colleagues build attractive employer engagement and future-proof education. This is a versatile role in which you work together with passionate colleagues on talent development, employability, organizational development, and the future of our organization. You will, among other things, work regionally in the education region of Hollands Noorden. You are joining at a very exciting time. The foundation is in place and work is underway to develop the strategic department for people and organization. You will have the opportunity to contribute to further professionalizing the field within Atlas College.

About Atlas College

Atlas College is a secondary school community for public secondary education with five locations in Hoorn, Edam and Medemblik and a service center in Hoorn. With more than 4,400 students and more than 550 employees, we strive every day to provide good and accessible education. Each school has its own atmosphere and character, and together we work towards one goal: meaningful education for our students from vocational education to upper secondary education.

The development of human & organization

As mentioned, we have taken the step from a classic HR department to a modern human & organization department. There is room to further shape this development.

The department consists of two payroll administrators, three administrative staff, and three advisors. The department’s employees want to be more than just a department that manages processes: they want to contribute to an organization where colleagues develop, collaborate, and stay healthy together. Good education starts with people – enthusiastic and learning teachers, committed and learning support staff, and learning students. As a team, the shift has been made from just executing to analyzing, brainstorming, executing, and looking ahead; from being a resource to being a sparring partner for managers; from following rules to co-guiding work enjoyment and sustainable employability; and from working individually to working together with and across departments, teams, and themes. For the human & organization team, we are looking for a leader who recognizes this, is energized by this change, and wants to contribute to the future of Atlas College. Experience in a leadership role is important, and at least just as important is that you are a fully-fledged conversation partner. You can work well together, separate the important from the unimportant, have knowledge of the latest developments in the field, be task-oriented, ask exploratory questions, and always manage to find the balance between relationship and results.

What will you do?

As a team leader, you are an important link between the team, the board, the school leadership of the schools, and the staff departments and the rest of the organization. You know what is going on and translate organizational issues based on, among other things, the strategic plan of Atlas College and the five school plans into clear priorities and expectations for the team. Conversely, you actively bring signals, opportunities, and issues of concern from the team to the location directors and the board. You provide direction, space, and support to employees in their professional development and the realization of the team and organizational goals. You encourage innovation, provide constructive feedback when necessary, and contribute to a culture in which colleagues learn, strengthen each other, and challenge each other. In doing so, you work from trust, encourage personal leadership and self-direction,
