Bespoke HR Solutions
Many Academy Trusts have their own internal HR person or department but still need an element of independence. Academy Trusts can tap into our bespoke HR solutions to suit their needs and provide strategic or practical support, supplementing and strengthening their HR provision by working in partnership.
We can provide support on the ground to schools within the trust dealing with cases, such as grievances, absences, and disciplinary issues, managing your caseload as an addition to your own HR department. We keep track of your caseload and feedback where there may be issues or a training need.

Supplement Your HR Team
Many Academy Trusts have their own HR department; as the trust grows with an increase in staffing numbers, the number of HR issues can increase. Recruiting experienced HR professionals with a background in HR education can take time and effort. We can provide additional support and become part of your team, providing expert employee education and HR advice. Rather than looking to recruit one person, we can provide a team of experienced professionals at a similar cost.
As an extension of your HR team, we log all your individual school calls and all the advice that we provide. We also log all your cases and provide you with updates and reports of where cases are up to, identifying trends and issues. We also provide training on reoccurring issues to strengthen your people management. If you are interested in strengthening your HR team, contact us to have a discussion.
