Education HR: Consultancy Services to support Schools, Colleges, and Universities.
At Eclipse HR, we specialise in providing comprehensive Education HR consultancy services specifically tailored to the unique needs of educational institutions. With substantial experience working for schools, colleges, and universities: both on a day-to-day and on a project-by-project basis.
Our work ranges from looking after the full human resources needs of retained education clients to undertaking complex and sensitive disciplinary matters including investigations.
As well as offering support to schools and academies, colleges, and universities: we offer support to independent schools, large MATs, and small stand- alone schools and academy trusts.
Managing HR Processes and Regulatory Compliance
We adapt our detailed understanding and knowledge of the sector to the different realities of each institution. We are familiar with the Burgundy, Blue, and Green books – and we support clients on the ground in managing consultation processes relating to the variation of terms, TUPE, restructuring, and redundancies.
Our HR team has strong relationships with leaders within the teaching profession and holds voluntary roles within schools and external child-focused settings. We are aware of the key HR challenges faced within the teaching profession and of rules and regulations relating to safeguarding and safer recruitment.
Human Resource Management in Education
Our expertise encompasses the full spectrum of Human Resource Management in Education: from routine administrative tasks and HR policies and procedures, to intricate disciplinary matters, mediation and investigations. We understand the nuances of human resource management within educational settings and are adept at navigating the complexities inherent in this field.
Comprehensive Retainers for Human Resource Development In Education
This firsthand involvement allows us to stay attuned to the key challenges faced by educators, particularly in areas such as safeguarding, safer recruitment, and compliance with regulatory requirements.
As part of our HR advisory service, we also undertake project work including investigating serious acts of dishonesty, discrimination, and whistleblowing, and provide support on large consultations.

Tailored Support for Different Institutions
Recognising that each educational institution faces distinct challenges and requirements, we customise our HR services to meet the specific needs of each client. Whether it’s an independent school, a large Multi-Academy Trust (MAT), or a small standalone school, our team adapts our knowledge and HR expertise accordingly.
Our familiarity with frameworks such as the Burgundy, Blue, and Green books enables us to provide targeted support aligned with the regulations governing different educational settings.
Addressing Key Challenges in Education
The education sector is constantly evolving, requiring institutions to balance regulatory compliance with the need for operational efficiency and staff well-being. Workforce retention, staff workload, and changes in employment legislation pose ongoing challenges for schools, colleges, and universities.
Additionally, institutions must navigate issues such as mental health, and wellness and wellbeing support for staff, managing performance concerns, and adapting to shifts in funding and resource allocation.
At Eclipse HR, we provide strategic HR solutions to help educational leaders address these challenges proactively, ensuring policies and practices remain effective, legally compliant, and aligned with the needs of both educators and students.
