Are you an experienced administrator with a passion for working with people and a keen eye for detail? If so, we would love to hear from you as we have a fantastic opportunity supporting the smooth implementation of HR processes in our school.

Role Overview:

You will work in close collaboration with the HR Manager Cluster Schools and the Trust Office HR Business Partner.

Key Responsibilities:

Accurately maintain the Single Central Record for internal audit and ISI inspections. Assist with adherence to all Safer Recruitment practices, ensuring all visitors, contractors, supply, and self-employed workers have the appropriate level of clearance. Assist with the recruitment, onboarding, and induction of all new staff. Assist in running assessment centres. Monitor DBS applications and other pre-employment checks. Take notes during meetings and maintain staff records.
The successful candidate will have strong verbal and written communication skills, proven experience of handling sensitive situations with tact and diplomacy, and the confidence to challenge compliance with HR policies at all levels. Excellent IT skills are required, particularly in using SIMS and Microsoft/Google applications. Keeping calm under pressure and being able to work to tight deadlines are also key so organisational skills and high attention to detail are critical.

Previous experience in a busy HR role is advantageous, preferably within an educational setting.



We are looking for the right individual so whilst this is an in-school role, some ad-hoc hybrid working may be possible on occasion, dependent on needs of the school.
