HR Officer

We are seeking to appoint an HR Officer who has the technical knowledge and experience of the full range of HR requirements consistent with a small independent school employing just over 100 staff.

The role will be based on our school site working 40 hours a week year round with remuneration dependent on experience and skills but likely to be in the range £30-35k.
The successful applicant will:

• be responsible for all stages of an employee life cycle – from recruitment to exit
• act as liaison with the school’s external payroll provider
• largely autonomously manage routine HR matters such as staff absences (sickness, maternity, paternity), flexible working requests
• provide HR guidance together with procedural and administrative support to school senior managers including occasions where contentious HR matters arise such as disciplinary procedures 
• be the owner of all HR filing and administration records and processes including the Single Central Record and related safeguarding checks

You will be part of a friendly and supportive team, and training will be available to enhance skills.  Our staff also benefit from free parking, free refreshments, and a free three course lunch during the school term time.

Experience of school HR processes and an understanding of the Single Central Record would be desirable, but full training will be given a successful candidate whose experience has been gained in sectors other than education.
