HR & Personnel Administrator - Growing Secondary School -...

A well-established and expanding 11–18 secondary school in Leicester is seeking a meticulous and professional HR & Personnel Administrator to join its central operations team. The school has a strong local reputation for steady academic progress, structured leadership and a supportive working environment. As staff numbers have grown, the leadership team is strengthening its HR provision to ensure compliance, efficiency and excellent staff support.

The school serves a diverse community and is known for clear systems, strong safeguarding culture and professional standards across all departments.

The Role
You will provide comprehensive administrative support across all aspects of HR, including recruitment, safer recruitment compliance, onboarding, contract administration and personnel record management. The role involves maintaining accurate staff files, tracking DBS and safeguarding checks, and ensuring that single central record requirements are consistently met.

You will support recruitment processes from advert posting through to interview coordination and offer documentation. The role also includes monitoring staff absence, updating payroll information and responding to general HR queries from colleagues.

Working closely with senior leaders and line managers, you will ensure that policies are followed correctly and that staff records are accurate, confidential and up to date.

The School Environment
This Leicester secondary operates with clear organisational structures and strong administrative processes. The leadership team values efficiency and professionalism and promotes a collaborative culture between teaching and support staff.

The school uses a modern MIS and HR system, and the administrative office is well-organised with clearly defined responsibilities. Staff retention is strong, and there is a positive working culture built on mutual respect.

Candidate Profile
• Experience in HR or personnel administration, ideally within education
• Strong understanding of safeguarding and safer recruitment procedures
• Excellent organisational skills and attention to detail
• Ability to handle confidential information with discretion

Why Join This School?
You will play a key role in ensuring the smooth and compliant running of staff processes within a stable and ambitious Leicester secondary. With supportive leadership and structured systems, this is an excellent opportunity for an HR professional seeking a meaningful role within education.

Please submit your CV to apply.
