- Managing people administration tasks including data, reporting, and compliance

- Supporting recruitment and managing the onboarding process for new joiners in line with safer recruitment guidelines

- Maintaining the Single Central Record (SCR) and staff personnel files

If you’re skilled, adaptable, and passionate about people and education, we’d love to hear from you.

What we are looking for:

• A good awareness and understanding of people administration, to ensure compliance with regulation and procedures 
• Excellent written and communication skills
• Excellent interpersonal, including the ability to form rapport and build good working relationships with others
• Flexible approach and the ability to work on their own initiative 
• A relevant HR qualification equivalent to Level 3 (Foundation Certificate in People Practice) would be advantageous, as would experience of working within a school environment, but neither are essential.
