Founded in June 2017, Oak Trees Multi Academy Trust is a strong, respected and effective MAT of 12 primary and secondary schools, with around 650 staff providing an excellent education to just over 5,000 children. All our schools are located on the Wirral, and we are committed to making a lasting contribution to our communities.

Over the past few years, Oak Trees has made tremendous progress in developing and embedding good practice, particularly in leadership, finance, governance, curriculum, workload and professional development. With a strong central team in place, and a dynamic vision of what good looks like, we are building a strong Trust community that’s really positive about our future. By 2030, we are determined to be a beacon of excellence in the education sector and a model of best practice, with high performing academies across the Trust, and our comprehensive People Strategy is fundamental to achieving this ambition.

We’re looking for an experienced, innovative and dynamic HR professional to help us accelerate progress, develop an even stronger organisational culture, and support all our people to become outstanding, whatever their role in the Trust. You must be a qualified HR professional, and your career to date will ideally include some time in the educational sector. A good understanding of organisational development in similar specialist contexts, and
experience of working effectively with unions, are both essential. Strong candidates will bring a consistent track record of leading both high-quality day-to-day people services, as well as perceptive strategic HR, and will take a particular pride in leaving organisations stronger than when they arrived.

The school is committed to the highest standards of safeguarding and promoting the safety and welfare of our children and expects the same level of commitment from all staff.
