About the Trust

Nexus Multi Academy Trust was founded in 2016 and has the highest ambitions possible for everyone we work with. We are a forward thinking and innovative Trust with collaboration, enrichment and improvement enshrined within our day to day practice ensuring that leaners and their families are always at the centre of what we do.

The vision for Nexus is that we are constantly 鈥淟earning together; to be the best we can be.鈥� This vision is what we aspire to and is as relatable to every employee and partner of our Trust as it is to our children, young adults and their families.

Our Opportunity

As Nexus MAT continues to grow, we are looking to enhance our Human Resources provision by recruiting a HR Business Partner working across our Multi Academy Trust to support Headteachers and our amazing schools鈥� workforce in realising the Trust vision of being 鈥榯he best we can be鈥�.

Working to the HR Manager and alongside our existing HR Business Partners, the successful applicant will ideally have experience in the state education sector and of working constructively and successfully with our Trade Union partners on a range of employee relations matters.

We are seeking a candidate with extensive experience of developing and implementing HR policy and procedures to not only meet the Trust鈥檚 legal duties but to ensure our managers have the broadest toolkits available to get the very best out of our staff, so that all of our learners receive a consistent, quality first education.

The Trust Head Office is based near Junction 34 of the M1 and the post holder will be expected to travel across South Yorkshire and beyond to support our schools, in line with the allocated caseload assigned by the HR Manager. It is therefore an essential requirement of the post that the successful applicant has a driving licence and routine access to a car.
