HR Casework for Education

Change Management

If there is an important organisational change ahead, you can fully rely on us to provide guidance and make sure everything goes smoothly, including transfer of undertakings (TUPE), restructure or redundancy issues.

Management Investigations

We will also prepare detailed reports to you and your community can be aware of what the results are and how resources have been spent.

We can also help you choose the right candidates for specific roles by organising exercises to check applicants’ aptitude. These can be held at your school or at another location and are designed to allow candidates to demonstrate the talents and skills that they will be using if they come to join your team.

Our human resources consultants for education will be by your side when it comes to making important decisions to ensure full compliance with legislation and help you view all sides of an issue. Our involvement depends on your needs, so we can be there permanently, monitoring different aspects of your staff relations or just come in when you need guidance on specific issues in formal circumstances.

Cantium’s experience

As we’ve pointed out, we are well-versed in human resources advisory for education. Multi-academy trusts need special support as they need to deploy a range of policies across the entire structure. A large Academy Trust contacted us because they needed to develop and implement a standardised set of policies and unify the procedures throughout all of the schools. The Department of Education had ranked this Academy first in delivering secondary education, so we had to live up to the challenge.

We appointed a dedicated HR consultant to partner with the trust’s human resources lead in developing an approach that met all legal requirements and could be smoothly applied to the structure of the organisation. As a result, together we created a new comprehensive set of policies and deployed it across all of the schools. Cantium helped their team gain valuable insights into the process and enabled them to provide more efficient advice, which gave them greater control and saved key resources.
