HR Administrator | Join a High-Performing Secondary...

£31k - £37k per annum

I'm currently working with a successful secondary school in Westminster that is looking to appoint an experienced HR Administrator on a full-time, permanent basis from September 2026.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a well-established school where the HR team plays a central role in supporting staff across every stage of their employment. If you're organised, approachable, and enjoy working in a varied administrative role, this position offers the chance to become an integral part of a collaborative and supportive school community.

Working closely with the HR Manager and Senior Leadership Team, you'll help ensure the school's HR function runs efficiently while maintaining the highest standards of compliance and professionalism.

The Role

You'll provide high-quality administrative support across all areas of Human Resources, helping to deliver an excellent experience for both current and prospective employees.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Supporting recruitment campaigns and coordinating interviews

  • Preparing contracts, offer letters, and employment documentation

  • Managing pre-employment checks, including DBS and Right to Work

  • Maintaining accurate personnel records and HR systems

  • Processing contractual changes and payroll information

  • Supporting staff onboarding and induction

  • Responding to HR queries from colleagues across the school

  • Assisting with HR projects and day-to-day administration

About the School

This ambitious 11–18 secondary school has built a reputation for academic success, strong leadership, and investing in its staff. Employees enjoy a positive working environment where teamwork, wellbeing, and professional development are genuine priorities.

The Successful Candidate

I'm keen to hear from experienced HR Administrators, HR Assistants, HR Coordinators, School Administrators, or professionals with previous HR administration experience.

You'll have excellent organisational skills, strong attention to detail, the ability to manage confidential information professionally, and confidence working in a busy environment.

Salary & Benefits

  • £31,000–£37,000 per annum

  • Full-time, permanent position

  • September 2026 start

  • Local Government Pension Scheme

  • Ongoing CPD and training opportunities

  • Employee wellbeing programme

  • Supportive and collaborative leadership team

Apply

The school is interviewing as soon as suitable applications are received, so early applications are encouraged.

If you're looking to join a school where your HR expertise will be genuinely valued and where you'll have opportunities to develop your career, I'd love to hear from you. Apply today for immediate consideration.
