The Schools are seeking an enthusiastic, detail-oriented and organised Administrator to support our Human Resources team to support approximately 300 staff across both schools. This role would suit an experienced administrator; previous HR experience is not essential as full training will be provided. The HR Administrator will work with the Senior HR Advisor with maintaining employee records, assisting with recruitment and onboarding, supporting HR processes, ensuring compliance with internal policies and external regulations and be the first line of support for colleagues.
You will be joining the team at a busy time as we continue the implementation of a new HR structure, and continue to review and improve our systems, policies and processes. The successful applicant will be involved with on boarding newly appointed colleagues, working with the Senior HR Advisor to maintain and update regulatory records for staff and directly deal with and manage communication via the general HR mailbox.
There will also be opportunities to get involved with other HR activities on an ad hoc basis. This is an exciting opportunity to gain generalist HR experience in a unique workplace where no two days are the same.
The role is a full-time, term-time plus 10 days, permanent position starting as soon as possible. The successful candidate will work 37 hours per week.
