SLA Support for Human Resource Managers

We do a range of resources to support educational Human Resource Managers and teams make the most of their library staff, and promote understanding of the role and its demands. 

HR Managers have the difficult job of understanding every role within a school, so if there's anything that's unclear please get in touch  using the main SLA number.
