Artis HR is supporting a leading organisation in the education sector to recruit a proactive and confident HR Advisor to join their central team.

Investigations, hearings and appeals

Occupational Health liaison and welfare meetings

Return-to-work plans and stress risk assessments

Alongside the ER work, you’ll also contribute to a range of wider HR activity, including policy development, safer recruitment compliance, organisational change projects, and HR-related training across the Trust.

What We’re Looking For

Strong generalist HR background with significant ER casework experience

CIPD Level 5 (or equivalent)

Confident working with and influencing senior leaders

Excellent understanding of employment law and HR best practice

Experience in a multi-site environment is beneficial
