School and Trust HR From School and Trust People

Schools and trusts are people places and without your teachers, cleaners, finance managers and TAs (the list goes on) your pupils wouldn't receive the educational experience that you provide.

We also know that people management, employment law, and dealing with day to day HR issues within a vibrant educational setting can be a challenge.

Even with a knowledgeable team, the demands of a busy schedule can make it difficult to address more complex matters in your school or trust.

Keystone's CIPD qualified HR professionals have real life experience of working in school and trust settings and can help with all things people from everyday transactions to complex casework and HR and people strategy.

Your school or trust can benefit from partnering with Keystone's team for education HR services, be it for rolling support and management, or occasional advice.

What Do School HR Issues Look Like?

Providing sufficient professional development opportunities for school staff remains a challenge, given budget constraints and limited resources, hindering efforts to enhance skills and stay updated with industry trends.

Furthermore, the vast array of employment laws and regulations, and the fast-paced nature of the industry need lots of time and frequent research to ensure you remain law-abiding. 

In a school setting, where staff members may have complicated internal dynamics and disputes, managing employee relations becomes essential. 

These are just a few of the challenges that schools all over the UK face regularly. However, with our HR advisory services for schools, you can overcome these hurdles with our expert guidance and support.
