Great schools are built by great people, and every great team needs exceptional HR leadership.

A group of five welcoming primary schools across East London is looking to appoint a Cluster HR Manager on a full-time, permanent basis.

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced HR professional to lead the HR function across multiple schools, working closely with senior leaders to support staff, drive best practice, and contribute to the continued success of the schools.
