In its simplest terms the HR department is responsible for managing the employee life cycle, from recruiting, training, developing, supporting the management of and the exit of all employees. This is broken down into three main areas:
EMPLOYER OF PEOPLE the HR team looks after recruitment, contracts, terms and conditions, pay and benefits, attraction and retention – in essence making sure we have the right people, in the right place, with the right skills, receiving the right pay at the right time!
DEVELOPER OF PEOPLE the HR team is responsible for the development of career pathways, providing learning and development opportunities and leadership development across the Trust.
VALUER OF PEOPLE the HR team is responsible for ensuring mechanisms are in place for employee engagement, recognition and wellbeing.
As a central team we are located out of the offices at William Howard school but you will see us out and about in your school, and we work very closely with your school administrator and the secondary PAs.
