Education HR Software
Schools, colleges, and training providers face unique staffing challenges around term-time working, safeguarding requirements, and professional development tracking. Grove HR simplifies education HR so leadership teams can focus on teaching and learning.
HR challenges in Education
Term-Time Employment Contracts
Calculating leave entitlements for term-time only staff, teaching assistants, and part-time teachers requires precise pro-rata calculations that vary by contract.
Safeguarding & DBS Compliance
Every staff member needs a current enhanced DBS check. The Single Central Record must be maintained and available for Ofsted inspection at any time.
CPD & Professional Development
Teachers and support staff need ongoing CPD hours. Tracking completion, planning development, and evidencing progress for appraisals is administratively heavy.
