Academies

Anne Hudson, HR Director, Westminster Grey Coat Foundation:

Employer Link provide Woodard Academies Trust with timely employee relations information and advice. I found that they are particularly helpful to Academy members in providing information regarding national pay and conditions and progress relating to national negotiations.

John Reece, Director of Human Resources, The Aspirations:

Having been away from the schools sector for a couple of years, when I became Director of HR for an academies trust I was pleased to be able to subscribe. The online resources and information proved invaluable for me in catching up with what I had missed and the  networking and courses facilitated by Employer Link keep me in touch and up to date.
