We are looking for an experienced HR Administrator to join the St Michael’s Prep team to cover maternity leave starting in June/July 2025 through to the end of the maternity leave period (circa. August 2026), working full time in the office, Monday to Friday, all year round.
Experience of working in a previous school setting would be advantageous but is not essential, however, strong HR administration skills and HR knowledge are essential as the role will cover a broad range of HR including many aspects of recruitment, onboarding, induction, training, absence, changes to terms and conditions, leavers, work experience and liaison with activity providers and contractors. The successful applicant will work as part of the small HR team and will also be involved in supporting our payroll and pensions administration processes.
To improve the effectiveness of the HR function and the support available to staff, we are implementing new systems to streamline our recruitment and HR processes, therefore an opportunity to shape the way we work and involvement in the transition of systems and processes is available for the successful applicant. Previous experience in an HR role, the ability to understand and question data, keep calm under pressure and possess excellent IT and communication skills are all essential to be successful in this role.
This is a busy team, and the role is varied requiring the ability to work flexibly, prioritise your own workload and be open to change; no two days are the same!
The working pattern will be agreed between the successful applicant and the HR Manager; flexibility to support workload and interviews which start early or finish later would be required from time to time. Holidays are predominantly taken in school holiday periods.
Salary will be dependent on qualifications and experience.
We reserve the right to interview and / or appoint prior to the closing date.
