Job overview
Term Time + 2 weeks
West Midlands Academy Trust (WMAT) is being established by three successful secondary schools in Birmingham (Hall Green, Kings Norton Girls’ and Swanshurst). The schools expect to transfer into WMAT on 1 January 2025. We intend for WMAT to build upon the strengths of its founding schools and grow into a trust that other schools wish to join.
We are now seeking to appoint a highly skilled, professional and experienced Head of HR to be responsible for HR, payroll and pensions for the 500 staff within the Trust. This is a tremendous opportunity to establish a people strategy across a new and ambitious trust and to develop HR and payroll systems and procedures that ensure WMAT operates effectively and efficiently. This role will require you to think strategically about our medium and longer-term plans, while also being in close control of day-to-day operations.
You will share our ethos and expectations, have integrity and humility, be a confident leader who can lead and motivate colleagues, and have excellent communication and interpersonal skills. Flexibility of approach will be essential as this role will naturally evolve as WMAT grows over time.
For further details and an application form, please visit the recruitment/vacancies pages of each school website (hallgreen.bham.sch.uk, kngs.co.uk, or swanshurst.org) or email recruitment@wmatrust.co.uk.
West Midlands Academy Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of students. Successful applicants will be required to undergo an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check.
The Trust operates a no-smoking or vaping policy.
