About the Role
We are recruiting for an HR Partner to join our successful and well-regarded Enfield Schools HR Team. Our diverse team of education HR specialists is committed to ethical responsibility and sustainable success. This role offers the opportunity to make a real difference in the sector, providing a high-quality HR service that impacts the lives of children. As an HR Partner, you'll deliver a comprehensive generalist HR service, acting as a trusted advisor to schools and trusts. You'll understand each organisation’s specific context, providing tailored advice and expert support. The role emphasizes employee relations casework while also exposing you to a broad range of HR activities, including conducting workplace investigations, developing and delivering training sessions, drafting and reviewing policies, supporting TUPE and change management processes, and contributing to ad-hoc HR projects across our customer schools.

Our ideal candidate will have a strong background in generalist HR and the ability to support customers with various people or management challenges. This role demands a creative and solution-oriented mindset, along with a pragmatic approach to HR. Building relationships with customers and developing risk-based options to meet their goals is paramount for success. As a customer-facing service, we require the ability to balance a not-for-profit ethos with a traded service approach while ensuring a customer service focus. Enfield Council has a flexible approach to working, and the successful candidate will balance home working, working in the Civic Centre, and working on school sites as required. Being able to travel to various locations by car is essential for this role, and you must hold a full driving licence and have appropriate car insurance and access to a vehicle as needed. This role is initially for a 1-year fixed-term contract, with the potential to become permanent in the future.
