In schools and academy trusts, HR Directors, HR Managers (there are lots of titles including People Directors too!) can find themselves working in isolation due to the unique nature of their roles. Unlike the corporate world, HR professionals in education often lack a comprehensive network of colleagues with similar responsibilities and expertise. This can make it difficult to stay up-to-date with best practices, innovative solutions, and the ever-changing complexities of the education landscape.
With the One Education HR Circle, you no longer have to navigate HR issues alone.
Focusing exclusively on education, the HR Circle gives you the opportunity to take part in lively discussions with like-minded professionals, sharing valuable insights and sector-specific expertise. Bringing together HR & People Directors from a wide range of education settings, we aim to inspire open dialogue, diversity of thought, and collaborative problem-solving.
We will host virtual roundtable discussions every half-term, followed by a community bulletin that brings together key takeaways, resources, and training opportunities. Once a year, there will be a live event that allows you to connect with HR professionals and industry experts face-to-face. And better yet – membership is free!

With a tailored focus on education, our roundtable events will enable you to discuss emerging challenges within the education sector and identify proven solutions to fast-track progress in your organisation.
- Sharing Resources
In the ever-changing landscape of HR, access to the relevant resources is paramount. Our HR Circle will also serve as a hub for resource sharing, signposting members to a wealth of training opportunities and ready-to-use materials. Together, we will create an ecosystem of shared knowledge that empowers HR Directors to make informed decisions and deliver exceptional results in your educational setting.
